Ideally we'd allow the frontend to specify what trap code a memory access instruction can produce, but we don't have room to store that information. We do have a few bits to spare in `MemFlags`, though, so add a new `tabletrap` bit to indicate that the trap code should be TableOutOfBounds instead of the default HeapOutOfBounds. Nothing yet sets the `tabletrap` flag, so the TableOutOfBounds case is never hit, but I wanted to separate this change out from the cranelift-wasm changes which will use it. The original version of this patch reused the `table` flag instead of introducing a new `tabletrap` flag. But this usage changes the semantics of an instruction, while the `table` flag is meant to be a hint for alias analysis in the egraph optimization pass.

Instead, I'm adding additional meaning to the
tableandheapmemflags. Besides being used in alias analysis, these flags now also indicate whether the instruction should produce a trap code of TableOutOfBounds or HeapOutOfBounds, respectively.In the Cranelift weekly meeting we discussed that it would be nice to assert that either
tableorheapis set when the trap-code is requested, but I don't know if all users of the instruction encodings (such as cg-clif or Winch) set those flags, so I've chosen to default to the old behavior if none of the alias-analysis flags are set.Currently, memory accesses with the
tableflag set always havenotrapset as well, so the TableOutOfBounds case is never hit, but I wanted to separate this change out from the cranelift-wasm changes which will use it.
