[WebAssembly] Remove special handling of entry point export. NFC
ClosedPublic

Summary

Its much easier to export it via setHidden(false), now that we have that mechanism.

As a side effect the start function is not longer always exports first (becuase
its being exported just like all the other function).

You've removed the check for CtorSymbol == EntrySym, I guess because you can't think of a reason why anyone would want to do --entry=__wasm_init_ctors? But if we do ever make the entry-point be treated as the "start" function, then that might be what we want.

This is good, because it gives --entry a clear reason to exist, but maybe it's not generic enough. Apart for the setHidden(false) call, is --entry identical to --export? So really --entry is redundant now, maybe it should actually go away.

Go ahead though and merge, I'm just musing here.

Oh.. maybe you are right.. let me right a test for that. I though that wasn't needed anymore.
