/// A `Backend` implements the functionality needed to support a `Module`.
///
/// Two notable implementations of this trait are:
///  - `SimpleJITBackend`, defined in [cranelift-simplejit], which JITs
///    the contents of a `Module` to memory which can be directly executed.
///  - `FaerieBackend`, defined in [cranelift-faerie], which writes the
///    contents of a `Module` out as a native object file.
