[lib] Split auxiliary libraries into Coq-specific and general.

Up to this point the `lib` directory contained two different library
archives, `clib.cma` and `lib.cma`, which a rough splitting between
Coq-specific libraries and general-purpose ones.

We know split the directory in two, as to make the distinction clear:

- `clib`: contains libraries that are not Coq specific and implement
  common data structures and programming patterns. These libraries
  could be eventually replace with external dependencies and the rest
  of the code base wouldn't notice much.

- `lib`: contains Coq-specific common libraries in widespread use
  along the codebase, but that are not considered part of other
  components. Examples are printing, error handling, or flags.

In some cases we have coupling due to utility files depending on Coq
specific flags, however this commit doesn't modify any files, but only
moves them around, further cleanup is welcome, as indeed a few files
in `lib` should likely be placed in `clib`.

Also note that `Deque` is not used ATM.
