[WIP] Implement LTO support

Serializing and deserializing Cranelift IR is supported, but due to the
lack of interprocedural optimizations in Cranelift there is no runtime
perf benefit. Only a compile time hit. It may still be useful for things
like the JIT mode where invoking a regular linker is not possible.
