Also, add documentation for the US-ASCII variants.

The only place that includes changes is the code for checking
the suffix. It is highly unlikely that the change has any
impact at all.

This updates Char, String, Bytes in the stdlib.
For now, they are hidden from documentation and are only for
internal compiler use.

This commit modifies the parser to use the newly defined .() and .[] operators. It also moves the definition of the standard .() and .[] operator for String/Bytes and Array to the pervasives module.
Before this commit, expressions of the form array.(index) and string.(index) where desugared to Array.get[_unsafe] array index and Strinf.get[_unsafe] string index. The unsafe or unsafe version were chosen depending on the presence of the "-unsafe" compiler option. Such expression are now desugared to ( .() ) array index and ( .[] ) string index respectively. The same desugar operation is applied to array.(index) <- value which becomes ( .()<- ) array index value.
In order to keep the standard semantic for the string and array index operations, these new index operators are defined in the pervasives module using new compiler primitives, e.g.
let .() = "%array_opt_get".
These new primitives are then mapped to safe or unsafe version depending on the
the "-unsafe" compiler option. Consequently, these modifications should have no impact on existing code.
With these modifications, defining custom .() and .[] operators should be easier, at the cost of losing access to the standard index operator for either array or string.

It is important not to assume that String.t and Bytes.t will always
share the same representation. Using Obj.magic to convert between
functions would give a very bad example to users considering
a migration, which are very quick to imitate any moral turpitude found
in the standard library.
An unfortunate consequence of the change is the duplication of
String.concat code; other designs would be possible to share more
implementation details between Bytes and String (eg. defined
factorized operations on both in a shared internal module), but if we
consider that String representation may evolve in the future this
coincidence of implementation is really a temporary coindence rather
than an definitive duplication.
I checked that all the small functions introduced are marked as
inlinable. In the case of coercions like this, we could even have the
compiler recognize eta-expansions of the identity function and turn
them into simple rebindings.

See the long comment in pervasives.ml for an explanation of the
change. The short summary is that we need to prove more elaborate
properties between the format types involved in the typing of %(...%),
and that proving things by writing GADT functions in OCaml reveals
that Coq's Ltac is a miracle of usability.
Proofs on OCaml GADTs are runtime functions that do have a runtime
semantics: it is legitimate to hope that those proof computations are
as simple as possible, but the current implementation was optimized
for feasability, not simplicity. François Bobot has some interesting
suggestions to simplify the reasoning part (with more equality
reasoning where I used transitivity and symmetry of the
relation profusely), which may make the code simpler in the future
(and possibly more efficient: the hope is that only %(...%) users will
pay a proof-related cost).
