Just normal software things, I guess.

Anyway, thanks to some help by a lovely local duck, Torii has an experimental WASM-based simulation backend!

For smaller simulations pysim is still faster, but for *huge* sim tests it's a good improvement over pysim!

This also paves the way a bit for if we ever end up having an in-browser HDL playground kinda thing, we can do "native" in-browser simulations and not need to do it all through Pyodide

I also eventually plan to try to properly get a Verilator-backed simulation engine built up too,

Which *should* be faster than the WASM engine for the cases where it matters, but is less portable due to the fact your system needs both Verilator and a C++ compiler.

Whereas with the WASM backend as it stands it's pretty much portable out of the box for all the platforms that wasmtime supports.

There is still a bunch of perf tuning to do so we can get some more nyoomies out of it, but it's already a huge improvement for some of the super big test benches.
