The version of `wasmparser` currently in use does not support extended name sections [1] and will return an error when such an unknown subsection is encountered. This commit is a quick work-around until `wasmparser` is updated to the most recent version - which is a rather big undertaking unfortunately. One downside of this work-around is that ill-formed name subsections (e.g. for function names) are silently ignored.

This a work-around for (#403).
The version of
wasmparsercurrently in use does not support extended name sections will return an error when such an unknown subsection is encountered.This commit is a quick work-around until
wasmparseris updated to the most recent version. This is a rather big undertaking unfortunately; it requires major changes inwasm.rssince the API ofwasmparserhas changed quite a bit.If I find the time, I will attempt that and create another PR.
One downside of this work-around is that ill-formed name subsections (e.g. for function names) are silently ignored, but I think this is a manageable tradeoff until
wasmparseris updated. In case you disagree and don't want to merge this, this PR will at least leave some clues on how to fix the issue locally if somebody runs into the same problem I did.
