wasm: support ThinLTO

Using ThinLTO manages to optimize binaries quite significantly. The
exact amount varies a lot by program but it's about 10-15% usually.

Don't remove non-ThinLTO support yet. It would not surprise me if this
triggered some unintended side effect. Eventually, non-ThinLTO support
should be removed though.
