Adding UTF-X decoding support to the stdlib

Since 4.06 we have UTF-X encoding support via the Buffer module. The following is a proposal to add UTF-X decoding (and bytes encoding) support with the following goals:

  1. Provide a low-level, allocation-free codec API in bytes. This API provides all the information needed to implement loops for making   higher-level UTF-X codec APIs (e.g. Uutf's folding functions) operating on bytes and string values. It's not geared towards the end-user

opam v2 switch init

Switch creation and initialization in opam v2.

The first point for me is that we should as much as possible get to a system where the following basic sequences of steps are possible.

opam switch create bla               # Create switch
opam install non-ocaml-pkg           # Doesn't depend on ocaml
opam install ocaml.V.VV.V+variant

UTF_8 module
(* See http://erratique.ch/software/uutf/doc/Uutf.String.UTF_8.html
If you want to test the API use:
opam pin add uutf https://github.com/dbuenzli/uutf.git#string-utf-8 *)
(** UTF-8 encoded strings.
The [UTF_8] module provides a {{!t}datatype} that asserts
that a string value is valid UTF-8 and a few functions
