Stop passing -export-dynamic to wasm-ld.

-export-dynamic was a temporary hack added in the early days of the Rust
wasm32 target when Rust didn't have a way to specify wasm exports in the
source code. This flag causes all global symbols, and some compiler-internal
symbols, to be exported, which is often more than needed.

Rust now does have a way to specify exports in the source code:
`#[export_name = "..."]`.

So as the original comment suggests, -export-dynamic can now be removed,
allowing users to have smaller binaries and better encapsulation in
their wasm32-unknown-unknown modules.

It's possible that this change will require existing wasm32-unknown-unknown
users will to add explicit `#[export_name = "..."]` directives to
exporrt the symbols that their programs depend on having exported.
