Summary:
With flambda (`-O3`), compilation time is ~5x slower, but the backend is ~25% faster!
To mitigate the atrocious compilation times, introduce a new `opt` build mode in the jbuilder files.
- build in "opt" mode by default from the toplevel (so that install scripts and external users get the fastest infer by default), in "default" mode by default from infer/src (since the latter is only called directly by infer devs, for faster builds)
- `make byte` is as fast as before in any mode
- `make test` will build "opt" by default, which is very slow. Solution for testing (or building the models) locally: `make BUILD_MODE=default test`.
- You can even change the default locally with `export BUILD_MODE=default`.
The benchmarks are to be taken with a sizable pinch of salt because I ran them only once and other stuff could be running in the background. That said, the perf win is consistent across all projects, with 15-20% win in wallclock time and around 25% win in total CPU time, ~9% win in sys time, and ~25% fewer minor allocations, and ~5-10% fewer overall allocations. This is only for the backend; the capture is by and large unaffected (either the same or a tad faster within noise range).
Here are the results running on OpenSSL 1.0.2d on osx (12 cores, 32G RAM)

=== flambda with stock options (no `-Oclassic`, just the same flags as base)
Exactly the same as base.
=== flambda `-O3`
infer binary: 56870376 bytes (2.17x bigger)
compile time: 191s (4.78x slower)
capture is the same as base:
```lang=text
real 1m9.203s
user 3m12.242s
sys 0m58.905s
```
analysis is ~20% wallclock time faster, ~25% CPU time faster:
```lang=text
real 4m32.656s
user 46m43.987s
sys 1m2.424s
```
memory usage is a bit lower too:
```lang=json

"minor_gb": 0.11583046615123749, // 75% of previous
"promoted_gb": 0.00363825261592865, // 93% of previous

"minor_heap_kb": 8192.0,
...
}
```
=== flambda `-O2`
Not nearly as exciting as `-O3`, but the compilation cost is still quite high:
infer: 37826856 bytes
compilation of infer: 100s
Capture and analysis timings are mostly the same as base.

Summary:
This simplifies the jbuild files: no need to list these files explicitly
anymore, nor to exclude them explicitly from the main `InferModules` library
(due to their different compilation flags).
Isolate common parts into jbuild.common do `cat`-based code inclusion into
jbuild files to factorize code.

Summary:
Conversion and reformat of infer source using ocamlformat
auto-formatting tool.
Current status:
- Because Reason does not handle docstrings, the output of the
conversion is not 'Warning 50'-clean, meaning that there are
docstrings with ambiguous placement. I'll need to manually fix
them just before landing.

Useful for hacking on infer, and when eg the default opam switch changes and

Summary:public
Eliminate the use of the -open Utils command line option passed to the compiler in favor of `open! Utils` in each source file. While slightly convenient, this option causes more headaches than it is worth with other tools e.g. merlin.
