lucet-module, which is part of the runtime pulls in all of cranelift-codegen which is large #288

Description

@shravanrn

Context
This is part of a series of bugs that I spoke to @tyler @pchickey about. We are currently using Lucet to sandbox libraries in C++ applications. The idea behind this is that using a wasm sandboxed version of the library allows ensuring that a memory safety issue in the library does not automatically result in a memory safety vulnerability in the full application. One of the consumers of this work is the Firefox web browser.

Problem
lucet-module, which is part of the runtime pulls in all of cranelift-codegen. So, from code comments here, this is already on people's radar. I am just opening this bug to express that we have an interest in solving this.

Actions
Could you let me know if this is a change that is being planned anytime soon internally, or if it would be better if I work on a patch that can be accepted? (cc @froydnj)
