Separating the module_type and module_body types by using a type parameter.
As explained in edf85b9, the original commit that merged the module_body and module_type_body representations, this was delayed to a later time assumedly due to OCaml lack of GADTs. Actually, the only thing that was needed was polymorphic recursion, which has been around already for a relatively long time (since 3.12).
