This commit adds a method, `Module::initialize_copy_on_write_image`, which will explicitly create the copy-on-write image during the method call instead of lazily deferring it until the first instantiation of a module. Given the relative expense of creation of a memfd on Linux this can otherwise run the risk of unnaturally perturbing the time-of-instantiation of a module. Additionally whenever lazy initialization is provided in an API it's typically good practice to also have an optionally-called forced initialization.
