 #<!-- -->80923 newly enabled multivalue and reference-types in the generic CPU.
But enabling reference-types ended up breaking up Wasm's Chromium CI (https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/c/emscripten-releases/+/5500231) because the way the table index is encoded different from MVP (u32) vs. reference-types (LEB), which caused different encodings for `call_indirect`.

And Chromium CI's and Emscripten's minimum required node version is v16, which does not yet support reference-types, which does not recognize that table index encoding. reference-types is first supported in node v17.2.

We knew the current minimum required node for Emscripten (v16) did not support reference-types, but thought it was fine because unless you explicitly use `__funcref` or `__externref` things would be fine, and if you want to use them explicitly, you would have a newer node. But it turned out it also affected the encoding of `call_indirect`.

While we are discussing the potential solutions, I will disable reference-types to unblock the rolls.
