This commit is an implementation of WebAssembly/component-model#142 to add semicolon delimiters to the WIT text format. The intention of this change is to be rolled out gradually to minimize ecosystem disruption (although some is inevitable). The strategy implemented in this commit is to add support to parse semicolons but optionally do so. Requiring semicolons is configured via: * A new `WIT_REQUIRE_SEMICOLONS` environment variable is now read. If set to `1` then semicolons are required during parsing. * A new `SourceMap::set_require_semicolons` is provided to programmatically indicate what to do. When semicolons are not required they are still parsed, but a failure is not generated if they're not present. This should allow semicolon-using WIT to coexist with non-semicolon-using WIT for a transitionary period. After a release or two the default for requiring semicolons will switch to `true` from the current `false`. That means that `WIT_REQUIRE_SEMICOLONS=0` can be used to keep old WITs compiling. The after a few releases of that support for optionally parsing semicolons will be removed and they'll be unconditionally required.
Additionally add environment-variable support to WIT printing to optionally print semicolons, disabled for now.

add semicolon delimiters to the WIT text format. The intention of this
change is to be rolled out gradually to minimize ecosystem disruption
(although some is inevitable). The strategy implemented in this commit
is to add support to parse semicolons but optionally do so. Requiring
semicolons is configured via:

When semicolons are not required they are still parsed, but a failure is
not generated if they're not present. This should allow semicolon-using
WIT to coexist with non-semicolon-using WIT for a transitionary period.
