This vendors sherlodoc to simplify maintaining compatibility using a Git subtree. This is not a complicated concept, sherlodoc's code is simply copied into odoc's source tree and can be modified normally.

The commits made by the subtree command also point to sherlodoc's history. This allows to easily pull changes made to sherlodoc or to easily upstream change made in the vendored copy. Here are the commands I used to pull some unmerged PRs on sherlodoc:

This system might not work for ever and conflicts might be too hard to resolve for git subtree's algorithm. That's not a problem as this has no cost to begin with.

The last commit makes sherlodoc be part of the odoc-driver package.

The path relative to the project root makes sherlodoc impossible to
vendor. Use a relative path instead.
"Fewer conversions between Names and strings"
"Overhaul of module-type-of and shadowing"
"Remove core types and exceptions from identifiers"
Several changes:
- Entries are now defined in the `odoc_index` library,
- Entries can have new kinds (pages, source, ...)
- Indexes have the form of "skeletons of entries", that can be folded.
- Indexes can be created by odoc with the `odoc compile-index` command, and
  then consumed by sherlodoc.

These changes come from:
- ocaml#1228
- ocaml#1232
- ocaml#1233
- ocaml#1244
- ocaml#1250
- ocaml#1251
This function was used only in sherlodoc, it makes sense to be here.
In particular, odoc 3 fixed a bug where "hidden" modules were still
indexed. This is why e.g. `Base.StringLabels` is removed from the tests
output.
Odoc 3 also fixed the way extension constructor are handled.

Before, a "type" would be added, with ID the first constructor, making things
rather strange from the user eg as in the (now fixed) example:
```
type Main.MyExtension
```
displayed for
```
type extensible_type += MyExtension
```

This is now fixed. A test for the definition of the extensible type is also
added.

I don't think we want to consider sherlodoc as vendored: we want the tests to be run, the warnings to be displayed, ...
