module: remove dynamicInstantiate loader hook
The dynamicInstantiate loader hook requires that the hooks run in the same global scope as the code being loaded. We don't want to commit to this being true in the future. It stops us from sharing hooks between multiple worker threads or isolating loader hook from the application code. Using `getSource` and `getGlobalPreloadCode` the same use cases should be covered.

-#### <code>dynamicInstantiate</code> hook
-
-> Note: The loaders API is being redesigned. This hook may disappear or its
-> signature may change. Do not rely on the API described below.
-
-To create a custom dynamic module that doesn't correspond to one of the
-existing `format` interpretations, the `dynamicInstantiate` hook can be used.
-This hook is called only for modules that return `format: 'dynamic'` from
-the [`getFormat` hook][].
-
-```js
-/**
- * @param {string} url
- * @returns {object} response
- * @returns {array} response.exports
- * @returns {function} response.execute
- */
-export async function dynamicInstantiate(url) {
- return {
- exports: ['customExportName'],
- execute: (exports) => {
- // Get and set functions provided for pre-allocated export names
- exports.customExportName.set('value');
- }
- };
-}
-```
-
-With the list of module exports provided upfront, the `execute` function will
-then be called at the exact point of module evaluation order for that module
-in the import tree.
