D lang compilers have an option -release (or similar) which turns off
asserts, contracts, and other runtime type checking. This patch wires
that up to the b_ndebug flag.
Fixes#7082
Emscripten does have a stand alone linker, wasm-ld. This patch adds the
linker, adds detection for the linker, and removes the IsLinkerMixin for
emscripten. This is a little more correct, and makes the code a lot
cleaner and more robust.
Emscripten has pthread support (as well as C++ threads), but we don't
currently implement them. This fixes that by adding the necessary code.
The one thing I'm not sure about is setting the pool size. The docs
suggest that you really want to do this to ensure that your code works
correctly, but the number should really be configurable, not sure how to
set that.
Fixes#6684
