Restricted callbacks can invoke only allow-listed hostcalls.
This mechanism is introduced primarily to prevent malicious plugins from
modifying the state from "proxy_on_memory_allocate" ("malloc") callbacks,
which could result in dangling pointers and/or out-of-bound access.
While there, limit the hostcalls available during early initialization
("_initialize", "_start", and "main" callbacks).
