WebAssembly doesn't support signal handling, so these weren't
useful for their main purpose. The one thing you could do with
proc_raise was terminate execution with a signal status,
however that's not super useful and even wasi-libc didn't make
use of it in its abort function.

* types.wit: delete file locking methods

We believe there is value in these lock methods for some applications
(e.g. sqlite), but for the sake of shipping Preview 2, we don't have
time to make and test a a cross platform implementation of these in two
separate engines at this time. This is in part because some additional
design work is required to integrate the blocking lock functions with
pollable.

These functions may come back as part of an additional filesystem
interface in a post Preview 2 patch version 0.2.n, or in Preview 3 or
beyond. Until then, their design is still in the git history.
