This PR adds shims so that ZFP can be compiled for WASM32-freestanding targets.

Freestanding builds are nice because they don't require loading the WASI runtime, which has some bloat, performance hits, and browser support nuances that make it less than ideas. This makes it much easier to create a ZFP WASM binding that operates purely on compressed/decompressed bytes.

This also means that any need for Emscripten can be bypassed entirely, relying purely on Zig to compile to the webassembly target.
