@alexcrichton I'd like to get your thoughts on the direction of this change, mainly around the refactoring and sharing of CompiledFunction, given the ideas and thoughts that you've shared in https://github.com/bytecodealliance/wasmtime/pull/5944.

@alexcrichton I think this is ready for another pass taking into account the feedback that you provided in https://github.com/bytecodealliance/wasmtime/pull/6298#discussion_r1179603816. Unfortunately this change doesn't fulfill your vision entirely; but I was able to considerably move the needle in that direction I think. In practice the traps and relocations can be easily deferred until the append_code step, but I couldn't find a way to do the same with the address_map and unwind_info without the need of a deeper refactoring (which I didn't get into), given that these fields are used in multiple places (append_code + append_dwarf) which requires either calculating them at the very beginning or finding a way to cache them after they are first calculated to be able to reuse them in later steps, which I think is doable but it might increase the scope of this PR further than what I had hoped for, but I think that with a couple more iterations we can get there in follow-up PRs. One thing to note is that I'm not passing a &MachBufferFinalized<Final> to the builder functions, as initially suggested, but instead I'm passing a &CompiledFunction which wraps the buffer and contains all the metadata needed to derive the information at each step.

Let me know your thoughts; I'm also happy to revert to the previous state in case you'd prefer to have the fully fleshed out approach as part of this change.
