Support for `wasm-unknown-unknown` using rustc nightly and `-Zwasm-c-abi=spec` flag

[jadarve]

Hi,

I'm trying to integrate mlua (awesome project btw!) into a web project using egui and trunk for bundling. I know mlua can be built into wasm using wasm-unknown-emscripten toolchain. But tools such as wasm-pack do not propagate the emscripten target.

I also saw there is support for using a spec compliant ABI in the nightly rustc: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/117919/files (I'm not sure that even matters for building mlua)

I tried to build mlua in a project using:

.cargo/config.toml:

[target.wasm32-unknown-unknown]
rustflags = ["-C", "target-feature=+bulk-memory", "-Z", "wasm-c-abi=spec"]

Adding mlua dependency as:

mlua = { version = "0.11.5", features = ["luau", "vendored"] }

and building as:

cargo build --target wasm32-unknown-unknown

Then I get this error:

That missing <iterator> file, and possibly more for the std lib, do you think can be fixed somehow and get wasm32-unknown-unknown working?
