Bump wasmi from 0.8.0 to 0.18.0 in /oak_functions/loader

[dependabot]

Bumps wasmi from 0.8.0 to 0.18.0.

Release notes

Sourced from wasmi's releases.

v0.18.0 - 2022-10-02

Added

• Added Contibution Guidelines and Code of Conduct to the repository. (paritytech/wasmi#485)

Changed

• Optimized instruction dispatch in the wasmi interpreter. (paritytech/wasmi#478, paritytech/wasmi#482)
  • This yielded combined speed-ups of ~20% across the board.
  • As a side effect we also refactored the way we compute branching offsets at Wasm module compilation time which improved performance of Wasm module compilation by roughly 5%.

Internal

• Our CI now also benchmarks wasmi when ran inside Wasmtime as Wasm. (paritytech/wasmi#483, paritytech/wasmi#487)
  • This allows us to optimize wasmi towards Wasm performance more easily in the future.

v0.17.0 - 2022-09-23

Added

• Added Memory::data_and_store_mut API inspired by Wasmtime's API. (paritytech/wasmi#462)

Changed

• Updated wasmparser-nostd dependency from 0.90.0 to 0.91.0.
  • This improved performance of Wasm module compilation by ~10%.
• Updated wasmi_core from 0.3.0 to 0.4.0.
• Optimized execution of several Wasm float to int conversion instructions. (paritytech/wasmi#439)
  • We measured a performance improvement of 6000% or in other words those instructions are now 60 times faster than before.
  • This allowed us to remove the big num-rational dependency from wasmi_core for some nice speed-ups in compilation time of wasmi itself.
• Optimized global.get and global.set Wasm instruction execution. (paritytech/wasmi#427)
  • This improved performance of those instructions by up to 17%.
• Optimized Wasm value stack emulation. (paritytech/wasmi#459)
  • This improved performance of compute intense workloads by up to 23%.

Internal

• Added automated continuous benchmarking to wasmi. (paritytech/wasmi#422)
  • This allows us to have a more consistent overview over the performance of wasmi.
• Updated criterion benchmarking framework to version 0.4.0.
• Reuse allocations during Wasm validation and translation:
  • Wasm validation and translation combined. (paritytech/wasmi#462)
  • Wasm br_table translations. (paritytech/wasmi#440)
• Enabled more useful clippy lints for wasmi and wasmi_core. (paritytech/wasmi#438)
• Reorganized the wasmi workspace. (paritytech/wasmi#466)
