[PATCH] D43264: [WebAssembly] Add explicit symbol table

Sorry, I can see why its confusing.  The concept of a wasm global is different to the concept of a symbol (which can have local or global binding).    We now have three symbols types which can name data, functions or wasm globals.   I the ELF world the first two would be called STT_OBJECT and STT_FUNC.  This new type has no ELF equivalent since its a wasm specific concept.  So far the only use for this symbol type is the stack pointer but we see future uses (for example for tls access and possibly via intrinsics or assembly).
