Implement the GC (Garbage Collection) feature for interpreter mode,
AOT mode and LLVM-JIT mode, and support most features of the latest
spec proposal, and also enable the stringref feature.
Use `cmake -DWAMR_BUILD_GC=1/0` to enable/disable the feature,
and `wamrc --enable-gc` to generate the AOT file with GC supported.
And update the AOT file version from 2 to 3 since there are many AOT
ABI breaks, including the changes of AOT file format, the changes of
AOT module/memory instance layouts, the AOT runtime APIs for the
AOT code to invoke and so on.
MASM (Microsoft Macro Assembler) needs to be enabled to successfully
compile .asm files on Windows. Without enabling this language
automatically in runtime_lib.cmake, Windows cmake projects using WAMR
get hard-to-diagnose linker errors about missing symbols as the assembly
file is not compiled at all.
Remove the test in the sample of file interaction that tries to extend the file
at the end, because this is not supported by the specifications of fseek.
The WASI exit code is now propagated by the runtime, so the CI will
indicate when a test is failing.
The current implementation throws a segmentation fault when padding
files using a large range, because the writing operation overflows the
source buffer, which was a single char.
IPFS previously assumed that the offset for the seek operation was related
to the start of the file (SEEK_SET). It now correctly checks the parameter
'whence' and computes the offset for SEEK_CUR (middle of the file) and
SEEK_END (end of the file).
A limitation of the current implementation of SGX IPFS in WAMR is that
it prevents to open files which are not in the current directory.
This restriction is lifted and can now open files in paths, similarly to the
WASI openat call, which takes into account the sandbox of the file system.
This PR integrates an Intel SGX feature called Intel Protection File System Library (IPFS)
into the runtime to create, operate and delete files inside the enclave, while guaranteeing
the confidentiality and integrity of the data persisted. IPFS can be referred to here:

Introduce a cmake variable `WAMR_BUILD_SGX_IPFS`, when enabled, the files interaction
API of WASI will leverage IPFS, instead of the regular POSIX OCALLs. The implementation
has been written with light changes to sgx platform layer, so all the security aspects
WAMR relies on are conserved.
In addition to this integration, the following changes have been made:
- The CI workflow has been adapted to test the compilation of the runtime and sample
with the flag `WAMR_BUILD_SGX_IPFS` set to true
- Introduction of a new sample that demonstrates the interaction of the files (called `file`),
- Documentation of this new feature
