    Quite a lot going on in this PR:
     * Updates to support recent emscripten, switching to WASM which is now the default
     * Use emscripten's MODULARIZE option rather than wrapping it ourself, since doing
       so in pre-post js doesn't work anymore.
     * Most changes are moving the emscripten runtime functions to top-level
       calls rather than in the Module object.
     * Get rid of duplicated NULL_BYTE_PADDING_LENGTH
     * Fix ciphertext_length used without being declared
     * Fix things that caused the closure compiler to error, eg. using
       OLM_OPTIONS without a declaration.
     * Wait until module is inited to do OLM_ERROR = olm_error()
    
    The main BREAKING CHANGE here is that the module now needs to initialise
    asyncronously (because it has to load the wasm file). require()ing olm
    now gives a function which needs to be called to create an instance.
    The resulting object has a promise-like then() method that can be used
    to detect when the module is ready. (We could use MODULARIZE_INSTANCE
    to return the module directly as before, rather than the function,
    but then we don't get the .then() method).
