Re: Guile Hoot v0.2.0 released!

[Daniel Skinner <daniel@dasa.cc>]

I hit a snag trying to use in an AudioWorklet so was resolving that instead
of making something more interesting. I worked it out which required a
change to the reflect.js instatiate_streaming to allow referencing
already-compiled modules keyed by given path as that's the only practical
way it seems to provide to an AudioWorklet.

Put here for reference (see everything prefixed realtime.*):
https://gitlab.com/daniel126/guile-hoot-ffi-demo

The realtime_worklet.js has a copy of reflect.js at top that includes the
changes mentioned and also a TODO of a potential issue within same function.

Tested in firefox. The example uses AudioWorklet as a sink only; the raw
audio data is generated in the guile wasm module by writing into a constant
bytevector, then in AudioWorklet that data is copied-projected-copied out;
maybe there's a cleaner way to do that copy out.

With things spiked out now, I can maybe do something a little more
interesting when I can find the time.
