Topic: proposal: make wasm-opt an external dependency

The wasm-opt crate hasn't been updated for quite some time and there are no signs that anyone intends to pick it back up.

Other projects, such was wasm-pack, rely on the pre-built release binaries which I find to be a nice middle ground assuming the cli arguments remain fairly stable.

I put together a simple demonstration of what that could look like for consideration.
