- Update for C++ Exceptions being supported.
- Update the threading-related bits slightly.
- Indicate that dynamic linking works but may not be as fully tested.
- Networking works, just not on WASIp1.

Is this true? I think we support some networking for p1 via host-pre-opened sockets.

I think I'll probably leave this in insofar as these aren't really implemented much in wasi-libc, it's untested, and it's non-standard in the subset that it implements. Effectively for any breadth of "implements networking" I don't think that WASIp1 clears the bar.
