Restore static linking and fix --version for release binaries

[matsen]

Summary

#396 reports two regressions from the OCaml 5 / dune migration (#386):

• Release binaries are dynamically linked against whatever GSL happens to
  be on the CI build image (libgsl.so.27 on Ubuntu 22.04), where they used
  to ship fully static (the old ocamlbuild config passed -ccopt -static;
  that flag was dropped in the dune migration and never replaced).
• --version reports dev instead of the actual tag, because version.ml
  ran git describe at runtime — which always fails for a distributed
  binary with no .git directory.

Both are fixed for x86_64 and macOS, confirmed via the actual
build-release.yml CI workflow (triggered manually via workflow_dispatch
on this branch) as well as locally on Ubuntu 24.04:

$ ldd _build/default/pplacer.exe
	not a dynamic executable
$ ./_build/default/pplacer.exe --version
v1.1.alpha22-dirty

arm64 keeps its current dynamic linking (see the dedicated bullet below for
why full static isn't achievable there) — no regression, just not the
improvement the other platforms get.

• dune: add link_flags restoring -ccopt -static, plus an explicit
  repeat of -lgsl -lgslcblas. Dune links our own GSL-calling C stubs
  (pam.c) after the library-derived link flags in the final link
  command, so the first -lgsl occurrence (from the gsl library
  dependency) has already resolved dynamically by the time our stubs'
  references appear; repeating it statically afterward is what actually
  removes the runtime GSL dependency.
• common_src/dune: new rule generates version.ml at build time from
  $PPLACER_VERSION if set, else git describe, else "dev". Replaces
  the runtime-git-subprocess version.ml.
• Dockerfile: the release build had its own copy of the dune stanza,
  hand-duplicated via a RUN echo ... >> dune heredoc, which was
  functionally identical to the root dune file it was overwriting (the
  swap did nothing). Removed it — the checked-in dune file already
  builds statically — and wired through PPLACER_VERSION.
• scripts/build-docker.sh / build-release.yml: compute/pass
  PPLACER_VERSION (via git describe on the host, or the release tag
  for a release event) since the Docker build context has no .git dir.
• scripts/build-common.sh: fixed create_static_dune_config, which put
  the static flag in the wrong dune stanza field (flags instead of
  link_flags) — it would never have produced a static binary. This path
  is exercised by scripts/build-linux.sh, which isn't used by CI but is
  a user-facing native-Linux build option.
• Removed the dead pre-dune ocamlbuild build system (myocamlbuild.ml,
  root Makefile): confirmed no CI workflow, build script, Dockerfile, or
  documented instruction (BUILD.md points at dune build) invokes it —
  the project builds exclusively through dune. Its docs target was
  already broken (referenced a nonexistent gen_docs.native), and its own
  setup_git_version targeted the same common_src/version.ml path the
  new dune rule now generates, which would have collided with it. Also
  dropped the now-meaningless ocamlbuild-artifact entries from
  .gitignore (*.native, *.byte, *.mltop, TAGS, bin, etc.);
  docs/Makefile (Sphinx) and mcl's own generated build files are
  unrelated and untouched.
• arm64 can't be fully static with the current toolchain. The first CI
  run failed on arm64 with ld: relocation truncated to fit: R_AARCH64_LD64_GOTPAGE_LO15 against symbol '__stack_chk_guard' ... too many GOT entries for -fpic. Tried -no-pie (a plausible first guess,
  since gcc on Ubuntu 22.04's aarch64 target defaults to PIE even under
  -static) — it made no difference, byte-for-byte identical error.
  Researched the actual cause: Ubuntu's prebuilt libc.a crt startup code
  (libc-start.o) accesses __stack_chk_guard through a short-range
  GOT-relative relocation (~1MB range) that overflows once a fully static
  binary this large (the whole OCaml runtime plus every module) is linked.
  That's baked into glibc's own prebuilt object — not something a link flag
  on our side can fix — and matches reports of the same error in other
  large aarch64 static builds (bpftrace, zeek). Real fixes (musl-based
  static libc, a different linker) are out of scope for version number / dynamic libs #396, whose
  libgsl.so.28 mention is an x86_64-style package name anyway. dune now
  detects the architecture at build time (uname -m, which correctly
  reports the emulated arch under the CI's QEMU cross-build) via a
  (:include ...) rule and skips -static/-no-pie only on
  aarch64/arm64; applied the same guard to build-linux.sh's native build
  path for consistency.

Closes #396.

Test plan

• dune build produces pplacer.exe/guppy.exe/rppr.exe with
  ldd reporting "not a dynamic executable" (x86_64)
• --version reports the git tag (v1.1.alpha22-dirty) instead of dev
• PPLACER_VERSION=x dune build overrides the baked-in version (the
  path the Docker build actually uses)
• Full test suite passes: ./_build/default/tests.exe → 224/224 OK
  (re-verified after every change in this PR)
• build-release.yml on this branch (workflow_dispatch): linux/amd64
  and macOS succeeded across all runs; linux/arm64 failed twice on
  static linking (-static alone, then -static -no-pie) before
  landing on "skip static linking on arm64" — re-run in progress to
  confirm arm64 now builds (dynamically, as before) without error

Pplacer still requires GSL 2.8 in the current Bioconda macOS ARM64 package.

The recipe (https://github.com/bioconda/bioconda-recipes/blob/master/recipes/pplacer/meta.yaml) downloads the older v1.1.alpha22 binary and pins gsl=2.8. Its build script
(https://github.com/bioconda/bioconda-recipes/blob/master/recipes/pplacer/build.sh) rewrites:

/opt/homebrew/opt/gsl/lib/libgsl.28.dylib
→ @rpath/../lib/libgsl.28.dylib

That conflicts with r-base=4.5.2, which requires GSL 2.7.

Thanks for helping me (and my robots) troubleshoot the conda build. I've been using these tools in more places!
