LOG: [WebAssembly] WebAssembly doesn't support "protected" visibility

Implement the `hasProtectedVisibility()` hook to indicate that, like
Darwin, WebAssembly doesn't support "protected" visibility.

On ELF, "protected" visibility is intended to be an optimization, however
in practice it often [isn't], and ELF documentation generally ranges from
[not mentioning it at all] to [strongly discouraging its use].

[isn't]: https://www.airs.com/blog/archives/307
[not mentioning it at all]: https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/Visibility
[strongly discouraging its use]: https://www.akkadia.org/drepper/dsohowto.pdf

While here, also mention the new Reactor support in the release notes.

-During this release ...
-
+* Programs which don't have a "main" function, called "reactors" are now
+  properly supported, with a new `-mexec-model=reactor` flag. Programs which
+  previously used `-Wl,--no-entry` to avoid having a main function should
+  switch to this new flag, so that static initialization is properly
+  performed.

+* `__attribute__((visibility("protected")))` now evokes a warning, as
+  WebAssembly does not support "protected" visibility.
