c931ab3bc8 daemon: sysroot: Avoid copying the path every time we call sysroot ()
This path never changes once the daemon has started up, so we don't
need to call into C code and copy the string every time.

d5b6f1df5f daemon: Allow parts of the daemon and APIs to be written in OCaml.
This change allows parts of the daemon to be written in the OCaml
programming language.  I am using the ‘Main Program in C’ method along
with ‘-output-obj’ to create an object file from the OCaml code /
runtime, as described here:
https://caml.inria.fr/pub/docs/manual-ocaml/intfc.html

Furthermore, change the generator to allow individual APIs to be
implemented in OCaml.  This is picked by setting:

  impl = OCaml <ocaml_function>;

The generator creates ‘do_function’ (the same one you would have to
write by hand in C), with the function calling the named
‘ocaml_function’ and dealing with marshalling/unmarshalling the OCaml
parameters.
