I pushed a starting point to deal with this. After reading all the warning on emscripten against using dynamic linking I decided for another route I had in mind to resolve this issue: allow adding the foreign extensions to the core system. This is now a new option -DSTATIC_EXTENSIONS to cmake which is enabled by default for Emscripten. This allows building fully static SWI-Prolog executables with extensions, which surely has value on its own

Currently includes some of the clib libraries, the sgml library and some of the http libraries.

An overall worry is the size of the whole thing

Pushed to #wasm_demo
