Add absolute directory names to bytecode format for ocamldebug to use
The need for a long list of -I directives makes interactively using
ocamldebug a pain in the butt. Many folks have solved this with various
`find` invocations or even Python wrappers, but those lead to other
problems when it might include files you weren't expecting (or miss
things you were). But all of this is really annoying since the tooling
should be able to figure out itself, even heuristically, where your
source files are -- gdb gets this right, why can't we?
This patch implements one of the more important heuristics from gdb: you
typically debug on the same machine you built on, so looking for the
source files and built artifacts in the absolute paths where they were
during compilation is a good first try. We write out absolute paths into
a new structure at the beginning of the debug section and then
automatically append those directories into the load path.
This means mean that if you happen to be debugging on a machine
where the original source and build artifacts are *not* available in
their original absolute locations, things will work as before, using the
standard load path mechanism. You can also explicitly use -I to prepend
directories to the load path and override the defaults located by this
new mechanism.
I personally find this makes using ocamldebug much more pleasant :)

There seems to be a problematic interaction with backtrace collection. To test this,
make world.opt
cd testsuite
make one DIR=tests/backtrace/
This needs to be sorted out before the patch can go in again.

Noticed that I had to bootstrap to test on ARM, so I commit a new bootstrap
compiler.

This script was built from ocamlcomp.sh.in through sed and is called
instead of "ocamlc" (for instance).
It makes it possible to switch from "ocamlc" to "ocamlc.opt" without
changing anything in the Makefiles, only calling sed.
I couldn't cleanly make it handle both a compiler for the target and for
the build. Instead I'm replacing it and doing as much as possible
directly in the Makefiles.
I hoped it would reduce the number of shell invocations, which would
speed things up quite a lot on Windows but I still had to have at least
one since it's not possible to update a make variable from inside a make
rule: i.e. it's not possible to do X=a, build a.opt and update X to be
a.opt.

(Patch by Adrien Nader!)
Several commits ago, I made a change that replaced includes for
"otherlibs/unix" with "otherlibs/$(UNIXLIB)", making it possible to
include "win32unix".
Apparently I forgot to do it for debugger/Makefile or skipped it on
purpose since it only matters for cross-compilation and cross-compiling
the debugger is not supported (yet).
Change it now rather than forget it later.

- Reset most of the fields of Env.t when saving bin-annot files
- Move debugger/envaux.ml to typing/, and add a function to
recover environements from bin-annot files.
- Move tools/typedtreeIter.ml to typing/
- Move the code of typing/typedtreeMap.ml from cmt_format.ml
