Clone data segments when specified with load args (#3463)
Follow-up on https://github.com/bytecodealliance/wasm-micro-runtime/pull/3389, specifically: https://github.com/bytecodealliance/wasm-micro-runtime/pull/3389#discussion_r1600872451

If we want to free the wasm binary buffer early, we need to clone the data segments into the module.
That's because, in case of [passive data segments](https://webassembly.github.io/threads/core/syntax/modules.html#syntax-data),
they can be referred during wasm execution.

Allow not copying the wasm binary in wasm-c-api and not referring to the binary in wasm/aot loader (#3389)
Add flag `LoadArgs.clone_wasm_binary` to control whether to clone the wasm/aot
binary in wasm-c-api module. If false, API `wasm_module_new_ex` won't clone the
binary, which may reduce the footprint.

Add flag `LoadArgs.wasm_binary_freeable` to control whether the wasm/aot binary
may be freed after instantiation for wamr API `wasm_runtime_load_ex`, if yes, then
for some running modes, the wasm/aot module doesn't refer to the input binary
again so developer can free it after instantiation to reduce the footprint.

And add API `wasm_module_is_underlying_binary_freeable` and
`wasm_runtime_is_underlying_binary_freeable` to check whether the input binary
can be freed after instantiation for wasm-c-api and wamr api.

And add sample to illustrate it.
