This change means that aliases such as latest and 3.10.2 can be used to install jsut the emscipten-releases packages and not the full SDK with all the dependencies.

This allows uses who do not want to install dependencies such as node, python or java to still use this package.

These packages were already available to install on their own via their full names such as:

$ ./emsdk install releases-upstream-48ce0b44015d0182fc8c27aa9fbc0a4474b55982-64bi

Now these base packages can also be install via:

$ ./emsdk install latest-base

Fixes: #1142

This code looks fine, although the suffix "-base" isn't very clear on what it means. Would a name that refers more directly to "emscripten" (or perhaps "toolchain") make more sense? On one hand something like "emscripten-only" would be weird for us (who see emscripten proper as one of the components alongside LLVM and Binaryen) but I'd bet that users wouldn't see it that way, so for them emscripten would be the toolchain and the language runtimes would be something else.

Closing now that the need for this is less since #1189 landed
