This commit integrates GPR#2171 to the autoconf-generated script.
Credit goes to @gretay-js, thanks!!
This interfers with the autoconf tests

Credits to @dra27 for having reported this!
Expose PACKLD from configure, not PARTIALLD

Reverting to exposing PARTIALLD in the build system is a regression, as
it was supposed to have been removed in favour of PACKLD.
Ensure that SUPPORT_DYNAMIC_LINKING is not propagated if flexlink isn't
found. At the moment, flexlink is still required to perform the actual
linking, so the build still breaks.
The HOST and TARGET variables have been altered. Prior to this the
lib-dynlink-csharp tests fail on msvc32.
LT_INIT looks for a linker called ld which will fail on MSVC builds
where Cygwin GNU binutils haven't been installed. It's not possible to
conditionally do LT_INIT, so this workaround ensures that LD is set to
something meaningful before it's called.
cpp is used directly in the constprop.ml test where it used solely as a
macro generator. However, changing CPP also affects autoconf's probing
of C headers, since the include directories are different for stock cpp
and tool-prefixed cpp (i.e. Cygwin cpp vs i686-w64-mingw32-cpp) which
causes lots of warnings from configure.

Change fixes the autoconf and is also safe for the constprop.ml test.
This reverts commit 7f5df20.
Thanks for the great reviewing work!

…l#13294)

The toplevel printer detects cycles by keeping a hashtable of values
that it has already traversed.

However, some OCaml runtime types (at least bigarrays) may be
partially uninitialized, and hashing them at arbitrary program points
may read uninitialized memory. In particular, the OCaml testsuite
fails when running with a memory-sanitizer enabled, as bigarray
printing results in reads to uninitialized memory:

SUMMARY: MemorySanitizer: use-of-uninitialized-value /var/home/edwin/git/ocaml/runtime/bigarray.c:486:45 in caml_ba_hash
```

The only use of hashing in genprintval is to avoid cycles, that is, it
is only useful for OCaml values that contain other OCaml values
(including possibly themselves). Bigarrays cannot introduce cycles,
and they are always printed as "<abstr>" anyway.

The present commit proposes to be more conservative in which values
are hashed by the cycle detector to avoid this issue: we skip hashing
any value with tag above No_scan_tag -- which may not contain any
OCaml values.
