opa build: Containing data inside a Wasm file

[shkup]

When I create a regular bundle I can contain there both data and policy. I would like to request a similar option when creating a wasm file. Sometimes the data is a json file that reading it, parsing it and set it by a loadData call is cumbersome and costly in terms of performance. Also, it will be nice if the build -t wasmcommand will create a wasm directly rather a bundle file that you need to extract the wasm file from (Not the end of the work though but I think makes sense that this is like a "compilation" product).

That's a neat idea. But would setData() overwrite the data or error?

Also, this is a feature request for OPA, I think: it builds the wasm module, after all. It might even be doable without having to change the SDKs (like this one).

I'll transfer the issue 🔄

Agreed, same for -t plan. If we can avoid users having to repeat extra steps in these flows, we should.
