brilift: Bump Cranelift dependency to v0.100.0 #299

Just a regular update to the latest version of Cranelift! This time, there was no API breakage. And in fact, it seems like, somewhere since the last time I updated things, Cranelift added support for AOT compilation (and .o file emission) on macOS-arm64. So we no longer need hacks to force things to run in Rosetta2 on Apple Silicon; I have taken these hacks out.

Just thought I'd include an updated, equally unreadable bar chart for the latest version running on my M1 Max MacBook Pro:

The average speedups are:

brili: 1.00x
brilirs: 12.50x
brilift-jit: 10.87x
brilift-aot: 29.28x

I still don't think these are all that meaningful because so many of our benchmarks are extremely short-running (skewing things heavily in favor of AOT, for example), but that's a problem for another day.
