pythonGH-123877: default to wasm32-wasip1 instead of wasm32-wasi to be more specific (pythonGH-126552)

Eventually wasm32-wasi will represent WASI 1.0, and so it's currently deprecated so it can be used for that eventual purpose. wasm32-wasip1 is also more specific to what version of WASI is currently supported.
