[llvm] [WebAssembly] Define `__funcref_call_table` in generated asm and objects (PR #180900)

[Demetrius Kanios via llvm-commits]

https://github.com/QuantumSegfault created https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/180900

Currently, calls into funcref (`call addrspace(20)`) are lowered into a store of the ref into a special single-element `__funcref_call_table`, a call_indirect into said table, then a store of null into it.

It functions just fine when `-filetype=asm` (default), but when emitting an object file directly from llc it fails with `LLVM ERROR: undefined table symbol cannot be weak`

This fixes said error by "defining" it during `WebAssemblyAsmPrinter`, and ensuring it is definitely emitted as weak (so duplicate tables in multiple objects are merged into a single one).
