Allow usage of `wasm2lua` without static linking to `libc` / Incorrect error message when `mallocName` is undefined

I lied, sorry I fixed it.

You can try the above fix, or by running wasm2lua with the nolibc flag

1. undefined is not defined is a user experience bug, this code should be

-this.writeLn(this.outBuf,`local __MALLOC__ = ${malloc ? malloc.id : `function() error "${this.options.webidl.mallocName} is not defined" end`}`);
+this.writeLn(this.outBuf,`local __MALLOC__ = ${malloc ? malloc.id : `function() error "${this.options.webidl.mallocName || "malloc"} is not defined" end`}`);

2. hm, uhh, hmm

When I last used this project, malloc was defined and exported alongside whatever program you were compiling to a .wasm file. The default symbol for malloc was just simply malloc. This is because libc was being compiled into the WASM file too.

Here's what the code was trying to reference

Perhaps you should investigate your wasm binary - is the malloc symbol defined and exported there? Is it called something else? If so you should plug the right symbol name into mallocName. If nothing seems to make sense, perhaps the WASI ecosystem has changed since I last looked at this project.

HOWEVER, it seems like you want a way to use wasm2lua without libc. I can certainly add a flag to include a stub malloc in, but that'd mean that I have to dig my hands into a repository that I haven't touched in a while and do scary things to it.

Perhaps what you can try instead is to define your own stub malloc export in the code you're writing.

extern "C" void* malloc(int size) {
  return 0;
}

Something like that should be enough for your troubles.

I hope this.. helps? Unfortunately I'm held up with real life responsibilities and other projects, so I can't do very much here unless things are looking dire.

Awesome, tysm!
