Commit 2f16a58419dd140cc38aa4568bfa65381815738b

Key Changes:

1. In the types.rs file of wasmedge-sys crate, a fix has been implemented to avoid panics due to new types introduced by garbage collection (GC). Instead of panicking, the code now logs a warning and returns ValType::UnsupportedRef.
2. An UnsupportedRef variant has been added to the ValType enum in the wasmedge-types crate to represent a reference that is unsupported by the C API.

Potential Problems:

1. The use of logging instead of panicking for unsupported reference types might be a design choice. Ensure that this change aligns with the project's error handling strategy and does not introduce unexpected behavior.
2. It's mentioned that the C API does not support UnsupportedRef, and it may need further implementation or consideration when interfacing with the C API in future updates. This should be documented and communicated clearly to users.
3. Verify that the addition of the UnsupportedRef variant handles the unsupported reference types properly and does not impact the existing functionality or compatibility with other parts of the codebase.

Overall, these changes seem beneficial in addressing potential panics due to new types by introducing a more controlled way of handling unsupported reference types.
