>language-agnostic wasm standard lib

Can such a thing even exist?

I think we'd better install wasm libraries (both language-specific and language-agnostic) like we install browser extensions.

How would a site know what libraries are available? How would versioning work?

This is a caching problem, best solved at the normal browser resource cache level IMO.
