This commit renames the current `wasm32-wasi-preview1-threads` target to
`wasm32-wasip1-threads`. The need for this rename is a bit unfortunate
as the previous name was chosen in an attempt to be future-compatible
with other WASI targets. Originally this target was proposed to be
`wasm32-wasi-threads`, and that's what was originally implemented in
wasi-sdk as well. After discussion though and with the plans for the
upcoming component-model target (now named `wasm32-wasip2`) the
"preview1" naming was chosen for the threads-based target. The WASI
subgroup later decided that it was time to drop the "preview"
terminology and recommends "pX" instead, hence previous PRs to add
`wasm32-wasip2` and rename `wasm32-wasi` to `wasm32-wasip1`.
So, with all that history, the "proper name" for this target is
different than its current name, so one way or another a rename is
required. This PR proposes renaming this target cold-turkey, unlike
`wasm32-wasi` which is having a long transition period to change its
name. The threads-based target is predicted to see only a fraction of
the traffic of `wasm32-wasi` due to the unstable nature of the WASI
threads proposal itself.
While I was here I updated the in-tree documentation in the target spec
file itself as most of the documentation was copied from the original
WASI target and wasn't as applicable to this target.
Also, as an aside, I can at least try to apologize for all the naming
confusion here, but this is hopefully the last WASI-related rename.
Add a new `wasm32-wasip1` target to rustc
This commit adds a new target called `wasm32-wasip1` to rustc. This new target is explained in these two MCPs:
* https://github.com/rust-lang/compiler-team/issues/607
* https://github.com/rust-lang/compiler-team/issues/695
In short, the previous `wasm32-wasi` target is going to be renamed to `wasm32-wasip1` to better live alongside the [new `wasm32-wasip2` target](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/119616). This new target is added alongside the `wasm32-wasi` target and has the exact same definition as the previous target. This PR is effectively a rename of `wasm32-wasi` to `wasm32-wasip1`. Note, however, that as explained in rust-lang/compiler-team#695 the previous `wasm32-wasi` target is not being removed at this time. This change will reach stable Rust before even a warning about the rename will be printed. At this time this change is just the start where a new target is introduced and users can start migrating if they support only Nightly for example.

On ELF, the text section is opened with ".text", on MachO with
".section __TEXT,__text".
Previously, on ELF this test was actually matching a GNU note
section, which is no longer emitted on Solaris starting with
LLVM 18.
Fixes https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/120105.
Adds a basic assembly test checking that each target can produce assembly
and update the target tier policy to require this.
