This commit adds dynlink support for ocamldebug. As a side effect, it also:
- factorizes the various functions searching for a code fragment into one,
called [caml_find_code_fragment];
- removes the [caml_register_code_fragment], which does not seem to
be used anywhere, and which clearly should not be used by external code.
- Add a Load_path module which caches files lookup
- Instead of falling back to the external environment, allow to
declare in the environment that a module comes from the external
world. This allows persistent structures to shadows non-persistent
ones
- inline Pervasives in Stdlib and re-add Pervasives as a deprecated
module that aliases all elements of Stdlib except the stdlib modules.
- remove special case for Stdlib.Pervasives in printtyp.ml

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.

listing more accurate.
Also move the yes_or_no function to it's own module Question to avoid a
module dependency cycle, since Lexer use Parser types and Parser
implementation use Input_handling that defined yes_or_no that use Lexer.
