Define non-trapping float-to-int conversions. (#1089)
* Define non-trapping float-to-int conversions. This also introduces the concept of prefix bytes, and defines the "numeric" prefix byte, used for encodin the new conversion instructions. * Add feature markers. * Add the feature marker in more places. * Rename "numeric" to "misc". See https://github.com/WebAssembly/nontrapping-float-to-int-conversions/issues/5. * Rename opcodes. See https://github.com/WebAssembly/spec/issues/884#issuecomment-426433329.

## Instruction Opcodes
-In the MVP, the opcodes of [instructions](Semantics.md) are all encoded in a
-single byte since there are fewer than 256 opcodes. Future features like
-[SIMD][future simd] and [atomics][future threads]
-will bring the total count above 256 and so an extension scheme will be
-necessary, designating one or more single-byte values as prefixes for multi-byte
-opcodes.
+The opcodes for many common instructions are encoded in a single byte.
+
+The opcodes for some families of instructions are encoded as a *prefix byte*
+followed by an LEB128 value. Prefix byte values are allocated starting at `0xfe`
+and counting downwards.
+
+### Prefix Bytes
