It should be as easy as passing the flag ABORTING_ALLOC=0 to emcc.
It's blocking Fallible Allocation RFC

setting ABORTING_MALLOC=0 for asmjs backend

This changes the behaviour of the allocator for asmjs backend.
It will return NULL on OOM instead of aborting and let Rust choose the behaviour.
Fixes rust-lang#48968 and enables try_reserve (fallible allocation) in asmjs.
