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).

This should make the type-checking of formats simpler and more robust:
instead of trying to find a pair as previously, we can now use the
path of the format6 type directly.
A nice side-effect of the change is that the internal definition of
formats (as a pair) is not printed in error messages anymore.
Because format6 is in fact defined in the CamlinternalFormatBasics
submodule of Pervasives, and has an alias at the toplevel of
Pervasives, error messages still expand the definition:
> Error: This expression has type
> ('a, 'b, 'c, 'd, 'd, 'a) format6 =
> ('a, 'b, 'c, 'd, 'd, 'a) CamlinternalFormatBasics.format6
> but an expression was expected of type ...
Passing the option `-short-paths` does avoid this expansion and
returns exactly the same error message as 4.01:
> Error: This expression has type ('a, 'b, 'c, 'd, 'd, 'a) format6
> but an expression was expected of type ...
(To get this error message without -short-paths, one would need to
define format6 directly in Pervasives; but this type is mutually
recursive with several GADT types that we don't want to add in the
Pervasives namespace unqualified. This is why I'll keep the alias
for now.)

Given that there still remains a small incompatibility (typing of
%(..%)), I decided to keep the legacy mode enabled for now. This means
that any failure related to format can be traced to this
incompatiblity (or unknown regressions), which will simplify the
monitoring and handling of changes considerably. As soon as the %(..%)
typing is generalized, we can turn the legacy mode off (or maybe
simply add warnings for ignored formats).

(printf {%foo%} bar) will print the string representation of the
format type of both `foo` and `bar`, instead of printing `bar`
(for this purpose one can just use %s). `bar` content is ignored, but
the typer should check that its type is compatible with the one of
`foo`.
This semantics allows to use (printf %{..%}) for testing/debugging the
use of %(...%): put in the brackets what you believe to be the format
type you want to use, and as argument the format you wish to pass, and
you'll get type-checking confidence and the "canonical" representation
of the format string which you can use in the %(...%) -- note that
using the canonical format type is not mandatory.

This simplifies the charset-handling code, as camlinternalFormat is
allowed to depend on Bytes and String instead of re-importing the
needed primitives.
