Add support for downloading files from the web server
to the in-memory file system at application load time.
See included documentation for usage.
This preload functionality is different from Emscripten's
--preload-file and --embed-file in that the files are
not packed to a single data file or embedded in the
JavaScript runtime. Instead, the files are downloaded
individually from the web server, which means that they
can be cached individually, and also updated individually
without rebuilding the application.
Any file type can be preloaded. The primary use case
(at the moment) is preloading Qt plugins and QML imports.

This is a minimal version of qtloader. The load function accepts
the same arguments as emscripten runtime with a few additions:
- qt.environment
- qt.onExit
- qt.containerElements
- qt.fontDpi
- qt.onLoaded
- qt.entryFunction
State handling has been removed in favor of making the load async
(assume loading when the promise is live).
Public APIs getting crashed status, exit text and code have been
refactored into the new qt.onExit event fed to load. No need for
keeping the state in the loader.
The loader is integration-tested. A test module with test APIs
has been created as a test harness.
The runtime APIs exposed by Qt (font dpi and screen API) are handled
by the qtloader seamlessly.
