Add target to use LLVM wasm backend

The new target is wasm32-experimental-emscripten. Adds a new
configuration option to opt in to building experimental LLVM backends
such as the WebAssembly backend. The target name was chosen to be
similar to the existing wasm32-unknown-emscripten target so that the
build and tests would work with minimal other code changes. When/if the
new target replaces the old target, simply renaming it should just work.
