Add a OCAML_INSTALL_PATH variable that can be used to control
the install path for OCaml libraries. The new variable defaults to
${OCAML_STDLIB_PATH}, i.e. the OCaml library path obtained from
the OCaml compiler. Install libraries into "llvm" subdirectory.
This fixes two issues:
1. OCaml library directories differ between systems, and 'lib/ocaml' is
incorrect e.g. on amd64 Gentoo where OCaml is installed
in 'lib64/ocaml'. Therefore, obtain the library path from the OCaml
compiler using 'ocamlc -where' (which is already used to set
OCAML_STDLIB_PATH), which is the method used commonly in OCaml packages.
2. The top-level directory is reserved for the standard library, and has
precedence over local directory in search path. As a result, OCaml
preferred the files installed along with previous LLVM version over the
source tree when building a new version, resulting in two versions being
mixed during the build. The new layout is used commonly by other OCaml
packages, and findlib is able to find the LLVM libraries successfully.

Summary:
This patch is provided in preparation for removing autoconf on 1/26. The proposal to remove autoconf on 1/26 was discussed on the llvm-dev thread here: http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2016-January/093875.html

Pretend they do not exist using exists_if. This is better than
the current situation, which is the error:
Error: The external function `llvm_global_succ' is not available
but still somewhat confusing.

In practice this means:
* Always using -g flag.
* Embedding -cclib -lstdc++ into the corresponding cma/cmxa file.
This also moves -lstdc++ in a single place.
* Using caml_named_value instead of a homegrown mechanism.

This allows to only link in the needed targets, reducing binary
size and more importantly link time.
Note that this is an incomplete implementation: currently,
LLVM does not have the plumbing which would allow to conditionally
link in AsmPrinter, AsmParser and Disassembler for the targets
which support them. This should be improved in the future.
