HACKING.adoc: comment on the OCaml license
* Make 'functor' optional in functor types.

* Print functor types without optional 'functor'.

* Short dependent functor syntax: changes entry
Allow maximum number of domains to be specified as a OCAMLRUNPARAM parameter
These are the only two tool binaries installed by OCaml which don't
report their version number.
* Add missing `defined` in preprocessor test

When `HAS_CLOCK_GETTIME_NSEC_NP` is not defined,
`#elif HAS_CLOCK_GETTIME_NSEC_NP` triggers a warning

* Include `caml/config.h` before `HAS_GETTIMEOFDAY` is tested

Also remove a duplicate `errno.h`

…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.
