Portable shim for MirageOS APIs

mirage-os-shim is the intersection of the Mirage OS APIs exported under the OS
modules by various Mirage backends. It shims out this interface under the same
cmi, and installs several implementations, that pass through to their
respective backends.

Clients need to be compiled against the common mirage_OS.cmi, and use the
module Mirage_OS. Final applications need to be linked using ocamlfind, and
have to define one of the ocamlfind predicates corresponding to the actual
OS implementations: unix, xen, or solo5.

When using ocamlbuild, this is
ocamlfind -use-ocamlfind -tag 'predicate(unix)' or similar.

WARNING Direct access to the OS interface is largely deprecated. The
interface is pretty volatile. It is highly likely that you, in fact, do not need
this package at all.

mirage-os-shim is distributed under the ISC license.

is this useful without a mirage tool that emits the predicate? (mirage/mirage#568, merged into mirage master, but not in any 2.x release)

[pqwy]

Not terribly useful. It's also out of sync with the new Time.

But you get to compile against it. And you can define the predicate yourself, like the test does, to link an executable.

EDIT No, of course the included test doesn't do it. It doesn't go through ocamlfind. Duh.

[avsm]

Should this be merged as-is, or do you want to revise it?

[pqwy]

@avsm It can be merged as-is.
