Add built-in compiler for Fallout2 .ssl files

[roginvs]

Description

This PR embeds a WebAssembly-compiled compile.exe into this extension. It is under options flag and it is disabled by default.

Having this compiler as WebAssembly build allow using this extension on non-intel processors, for example on Mac M1 or others.

Notes

Currently it uses compiled files from my repo but I will change it into sfall repo as soon as sfall-team/sslc#14 is merged

Lots of any because I have not found a good typescript definitions for emscripten module (@types/emscripten have no .FS property on the instance)

I have not tested this on Windows but likely it will also work there

Interesting, I haven't considered M1. Does it not run wine? I thought there was some compatilibility layer.

[roginvs]

Actually I have no idea, but i had an impression that it was not possible to run x86/x64 apps on M1 Macbooks.

Anyways, even if it is possible then it still requires some setup. Having a embedded cross-platform compiler should be better user experience in my opinion. Maybe later we can enable it by default

CI fails on found npm access token: npm_i_save_dev_types_Slash but it also fails on almost empty PR roginvs#2

microsoft/vscode-vsce#1153 maybe

[roginvs]

Yes, looks like it was a bug in vscode-vsce. Right now all checks passed.

I changed installation script, now it will check hash of downloaded release file. Just more security. With hash check it is not a big difference where this file was downloaded from

[burner1024]

So you aren't using an M1? What prompted you to work on this then?

@burner1024
I was making a PR with test scripts into fallout2-ce. In the README file I added some instructions about how to compile https://github.com/fallout2-ce/fallout2-ce/pull/140/files#diff-7e0064f2b1902c3c7083e171e90a0a91df55a38157bf30de762952196392b179 but then I though that having an additional step of installing compile.exe can be annoying.

I am simple user, I want a button which makes everything for me. As user I want to install extension and to have a ready-to-use IDE.

Well, the simplest way for that would be to just bundle compile.exe, I guess.
But having native cross-platform builds paves the way for future improvements, so that's cool too.

Let's see when the upstream PR gets merged.

[roginvs]

Looks like PR into sslc got stuck for a while. Let's hope it will be merged at some point.

I think there is no blockers right now for merging this PR. I tested it locally and it works for me. There is a hash of the package in package-lock.json so npm/pnpm will not allow to install something else which do not have the same hash

[burner1024]

I'll look it over soon.

@copilot review this

I'd assign Copilot to review this PR if I had permission to add reviewers. :)
