WASM addons support

[caukub]

Many languages support compiling to WASM so since output is compiled to just one .wasm file, this would be an easy way to distribute addons written in many languages. WASM files can be executed by WASI runtime like Wasmer. Docker WASM support is currently in Beta (https://docs.docker.com/desktop/wasm/).

as far as i understand, plugins are basically just php files

perhaps someone can develop a plugin that exposes the apis people will want to wasm?

might need to be automated somehow

Thanks, but while PHP can be run in WASM, WASM cannot be run by PHP!

not true! it CAN be! Take a second look at extism for an example!
