Bugfix Patch

iOS UIWebView's JavaScript runtime NOT allow to use  Assembler. 

It will crash when running  the following code in iOS 11:

UIWebView* webview = [[UIWebView alloc] init];
[webview stringByEvaluatingJavaScriptFromString:@"new WebAssembly.Memory({initial:10, maximum:100});"];


And the crash stack is :

This is slightly similar to JIT, so I try to fix it with the Patch.

Thank you for the report and the fix! Would you be willing to submit a patch for review in accordance with <https://webkit.org/contributing-code/>?

Options.cpp does the following:

    if (!Options::useJIT())
        Options::useWebAssembly() = false;

That should cover some cases, but indeed doesn't cover the case where we dynamically discover that we can't allocate executable memory. I think we might want to update useJIT in that case and re-run the part that makes options consistent, since executable allocation runs early?

I think we should do this the same way that we do it for other JITs. It looks like we use a boolean on VM for the others. e.g. m_canUseJIT.

VM::canUseJIT() is the way we ask this question, not Options::useJIT(). VM::canUseJIT() changes its answer based on Options::useJIT(). There really shouldn't be any other clients of Options::useJIT().

Let's make this condition:
Options::useWebAssembly() && vm.canUseJIT()

Can you also write a changelog? Or if you prefer, somebody on the JSC team can take this through the finish line.
