Research direction

Start by reading src/shell-pre.js and inspecting the generated sql-wasm.js, then review the referenced Emscripten issue and the 13.9.16 release behavior. Simplify the sql.js build process by removing manual modularization and verify that the generated output still builds and runs correctly.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

The generated code in sql-wasm.js mentions Emscripten issue: emscripten-core/emscripten#5820.

This issue was fixed in PR emscripten-core/emscripten#10697 and released as version 13.9.16 in May 2020.

I think removing manual modularization will simplify sql.js build process.
