This patch renames the "Initial" member of WasmLimits to the name used
in the spec, "Minimum".
In the core WebAssembly specification, the Limits data type has one
required "min" member and one optional "max" member, indicating the
minimum required size of the corresponding table or memory, and the
maximum size, if any.
Although the WebAssembly spec does instantiate locally-defined tables
and memories with the initial size being equal to the minimum size, it
can't impose such a requirement for imports. It doesn't make sense to
require an initial size for a memory import, for example. The compiler
can only sensibly express the minimum and maximum sizes.
See
https://github.com/WebAssembly/js-types/blob/master/proposals/js-types/Overview.md#naming-of-size-limits
for a related discussion that agrees that the right name of "initial" is
"minimum" when querying the type of a table or memory from JavaScript.
(Of course it still makes sense for JS to speak in terms of an initial
size when it explicitly instantiates memories and tables.)

This patch adds support to wasm-ld for linking multiple table references
together, in a manner similar to wasm globals. The indirect function
table is synthesized as needed.
To manage the transitional period in which the compiler doesn't yet
produce TABLE_NUMBER relocations and doesn't residualize table symbols,
the linker will detect object files which have table imports or
definitions, but no table symbols. In that case it will synthesize
symbols for the defined and imported tables.
As a change, relocatable objects are now written with table symbols,
which can cause symbol renumbering in some of the tests. If no object
file requires an indirect function table, none will be written to the
file. Note that for legacy ObjFile inputs, this test is conservative: as
we don't have relocs for each use of the indirecy function table, we
just assume that any incoming indirect function table should be
propagated to the output.
