This fuzzer was added in bytecodealliance#12119 with the hope of being a strong vector of fuzzing the component-model-async implementation. In the interim, however, we've discovered: * This fuzzer has found no issues. * Issues like bytecodealliance#13196 have happened, but they're bugs in `wit-bindgen`, not Wasmtime. * Many issues have been discovered which this fuzzer did not uncover. * This fuzzer takes a long time and special care to run due to needing to compile a large module at startup. Overall it just doesn't seem like this is pulling its weight. Designing a full fuzzer for component-async work I feel would need to start from scratch. I don't actually know how to build a fuzzer to discover the latent issues we've found via review/testing myself, but I'm hopeful someone in the future can be more clever than I. Closes bytecodealliance#13196
