Description

We found in certain benchmark (a wasm with 150_000 no-op functions), compilation is slowed down by dynasmrt's mmapand mprotect syscalls, however, those mmap isn't used in wasmer and can be replaced by simpler VecAssembler. In this bench it's a 10x speedup in singlepass backend compilation time.

@ailisp can you do a cargo fmt --all and push the change, so the linter is happy and we can merge this?
