Add opaqueness to Obj.magic under Flambda 2 #862

We've hit a lot of cases where code using Obj.magic falls foul of the strict model of Flambda 2. There are almost certainly places we haven't fixed yet and that might be difficult to find. We could alleviate the risk of Invalid being produced by making Obj.magic include opaqueness. This doesn't seem like it should de-optimize, since the argument is likely to be unknown.

This PR follows the suggestion of @chambart that such opaqueness should only be used in the middle end, rather than compiling to Copaque in Cmm.

There is a weirdness in the Menhir library included with the compiler as can be seen; warning 20 is generated using the new definition of Obj.magic (even if it is exposed as val not external in obj.mli).

You might want to patch line 2540 in typecore.ml to also detect %obj_magic. This should fix both the issue with menhirLib and the testsuite.
