Summary:
Main changes are:
1. Dune can promote targets into the source tree as a part of build. This
allows us to **remove custom promotion/installation logic in src/Makefile**.
2. Dune promotion only works for path within workspace. This required
**moving dune-workspace one folder up**: from infer/infer/src to infer/infer.
But this is not bad, since it makes it possible to migrate tests under dune at some point.
3. `checkCopyright` now also promoted into `infer/infer/bin` instead of
`infer/scripts` partly for consistency and partly because of the
dune-workspace location.
4. `byte` mode was replaced with `byte_complete`. The latter takes
similar amount of time to build compared to `byte`, but produces
standalone binaries that don't require InferCStubs to be
installed. This allowed to remove `dune_exec_shim` and custom logic
around `dune build InferCStubs.install` when dealing with byte
targets.
All in all, `infer/src/Makefile` is not about 2/3 its previous size
with less custom logic in Makefiles/scripts and more encoded in dune
build files.

Summary:
With profiles and `(env ...)` stanza it's possible to consolidate
various ocamlc/ocamlopt/etc setups in a single place.
Where previously we needed to append `dune.common` to every dune file
and specify `flags` and `ocamlopt_flags` now the flags are specified
in `env` and applied accross the board.
This allows to
1. simplify build definitions,
2. avoid the need to generate dune files,
3. use plain sexps instead of OCaml and JBuilder plugin in build
files.
(I'll try to address 2 and 3 in the followup patches).
Existing `make` targets should continue working as before. Also, we
can use dune CLI like so:
```
infer/src$ dune printenv --profile opt # <- very useful for introspection
infer/src$ dune build check
infer/src$ dune build check --profile test
infer/src$ dune build infer.exe --profile dev
infer/src$ dune build infer.exe --profile opt
```
Also, with just 1 context something like `dune runtest` will run unit
tests only once instead of N times, where N is the number of contexts.
Now, there's one difference compared to the previous setup with
contexts:
- Previously, each context had its own build folder, and building infer
in opt context didn't invalidate any of the build artifacts in default
context. Therefore, alternating between `make` and `make opt` had low
overhead at the expense of having N copies of all build artifacts (1
for every context).
- Now, there's just 1 build folder and switching between profiles does
invalidate some artifacts (but not all) and rebuild takes a bit more
time.
So, if you're alternating like crazy between profiles your experience
may get worse (but not necessarily, more on that below). If you want
to trigger an opt build occasionally, you shouldn't notice much
difference.
For those who are concerned about slower build times when alternating
between different build profiles, there's a solution: [dune
cache](https://dune.readthedocs.io/en/stable/caching.html).
You can enable it by creating a file `~/.config/dune/config` with the
following contents:
```
(lang dune 2.0)
(cache enabled)
```
With cache enabled switching between different build profiles (but
also branches and commits) has ~0 overhead.
Dune cache works fine on Linux, but unfortunately there are [certain
problems with
MacOS](https://github.com/ocaml/dune/issues/3233) (hopefully, those
will be fixed soon and then there will be no downsides to using
profiles compared to contexts for our case).

Summary:
Switches from opam 1 to opam 2.
Opam2 has some cool new features that simplify some of the scripting.
Notable changes:
1. Use the new `opam lock` *plugin* from https://github.com/AltGr/opam-lock/ instead of https://github.com/rgrinberg/opam-lock. This has a simpler interface for our purposes.
2. Change the way `./build-infer.sh` can be called to use an already existing switch: simply pass `--user-opam-switch` to the script and it won't attempt to create/set the current switch. This can be used to build infer in a local switch for instance.
3. Take advantage of automatic pinning where possible, eg to install infer deps without using opam.locked.

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 `-O2`
Not nearly as exciting as `-O3`, but the compilation cost is still quite high:
