Fixes #20177.
The guide only mentions Emscripten, which led to the request for a pointer to lighter, more portable alternatives. Per the discussion on the issue (@Josh-Cena and @bsmth), the consensus was to keep the tutorial primarily Emscripten-based but add a note about alternatives in the introduction — so this adds a short note pointing to compiling C directly with Clang/LLVM or the WASI SDK, while noting what Emscripten provides that those don't (libc, file system, and other OS emulation).
The Clang/LLVM reference is the surma.dev write-up @bsmth linked in the thread.
