feat: Standalone lite binaries and cross compilation (#9141)

This commit adds --target and --lite flags to deno compile subcommand.

--target allows to cross-compile binary to different target architectures by
fetching appropriate binary from remote server on first run. All downloaded
binaries are stored in "$DENO_DIR/dl".

--lite allows to use lite version of the runtime (ie. the one that doesn't contain
built-in tooling like formatter or linter).
