[PATCH v2 2/4] configure: Enable to propagate -sMEMORY64 flag to Emscripten

[Kohei Tokunaga <ktokunaga.mail@gmail.com>]

Currently there are some engines that don't support wasm64 (e.g. unsupported
on Safari[1]). To mitigate this issue, the configure script allows the user
to use Emscripten's compatibility feature, "-sMEMORY64=2" flag[2].

Emscripten's "-sMEMORY64=2" flag still enables 64bit pointers in C code. But
this flag lowers the output binary into wasm32, with limiting the maximum
memory size to 4GB. So QEMU can run on wasm32 engines.

V2:
- Changed --wasm64-memory64 flag to --wasm64-32bit-address-limit to avoid
  exposing the -sMEMORY64 value directly to the users. This can be
  considered as a significant change from the previous version of this patch
  so the Reviewed-by tag has been removed.
- Added a link to the Emscripten documentation about -sMEMORY64 in the
  configure script.
