[WebAssembly] Make llvm.wasm.throw invokable (#128104)

`llvm.wasm.throw` intrinsic can throw but it was not invokable. Not sure
what the rationale was when it was first written that way, but I think
at least in Emscripten's C++ exception support with the Wasm port of
libunwind, `__builtin_wasm_throw`, which is lowered down to
`llvm.wasm.rethrow`, is used only within `_Unwind_RaiseException`, which
is an one-liner and thus does not need an `invoke`:
https://github.com/emscripten-core/emscripten/blob/720e97f76d6f19e0c6a2d6988988cfe23f0517fb/system/lib/libunwind/src/Unwind-wasm.c#L69
(`_Unwind_RaiseException` is called by `__cxa_throw`, which is generated
by the `throw` C++ keyword)

But this does not address other direct uses of the builtin in C++, whose
use I'm not sure about but is not prohibited. Also other language
frontends may need to use the builtin in different functions, which has
`try`-`catch`es or destructors.

This makes `llvm.wasm.throw` invokable in the backend. To do that, this
adds a custom lowering routine to `SelectionDAGBuilder::visitInvoke`,
like we did for `llvm.wasm.rethrow`.

This does not generate `invoke`s for `__builtin_wasm_throw` yet, which
will be done by a follow-up PR.

Addresses #124710.

The LLVM Compiler Infrastructure

OpenSSF Scorecard OpenSSF Best Practices libc++

Welcome to the LLVM project!

This repository contains the source code for LLVM, a toolkit for the construction of highly optimized compilers, optimizers, and run-time environments.

The LLVM project has multiple components. The core of the project is itself called “LLVM”. This contains all of the tools, libraries, and header files needed to process intermediate representations and convert them into object files. Tools include an assembler, disassembler, bitcode analyzer, and bitcode optimizer.

C-like languages use the Clang frontend. This component compiles C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++ code into LLVM bitcode -- and from there into object files, using LLVM.

Other components include: the libc++ C++ standard library, the LLD linker, and more.
