Subject: wasi: Implement `error_string` to get readable errors
X-Git-Url: https://git.lizzy.rs/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=32a76844c47924a1d230f647db3bafb53c3e20ea;p=rust.git

wasi: Implement `error_string` to get readable errors

This routes the `error_string` API to `strerror` in libc which should
have more human readable descriptions.
