I discussed this with @rjmccall and @jckarter on a forum thread,
and we've got a consensus on how to upstream the relative pointer
support for Wasm.
The runtime part and id resolution of KeyPath will come in another PR.
On some Harvard architectures like WebAssembly that allow sliding code
and data address space offsets independently, it's impossible to make
direct relative reference to code from data because the relative offset
between them is not representable.
Use absolute function references instead of relative ones on such targets.
