feature(coq): automatic detection of native

We omit the need for native to be specified in the coq.theory stanza
and instead allow for Dune to automatically detect whether to enable
native compilation via the output of `coqc -config` which was exposed
in ocaml#6049. This continues and finishes an earlier attempt to do
someting similar in ocaml#4722.

   You may still use installed libraries in your Coq project, but there is
   currently no way for Dune to know about it.
 
-- You can enable the production of Coq's native compiler object files by setting
-  ``<coq_native_mode>`` to ``native``. This passes ``-native-compiler on`` to
-  Coq and install the corresponding object files under ``.coq-native``, when in
-  the ``release`` profile. The regular ``dev`` profile skips native compilation
-  to make the build faster. This has been available since :ref:`Coq lang
-  0.3<coq-lang>`.
-
-  Please note: support for ``native_compute`` is **experimental** and requires a
-  version of Coq later than 8.12.1. Furthermore, dependent theories *must* be
-  built with the ``(mode native)`` enabled. In addition to that, Coq must be
-  configured to support native compilation. Dune explicitly disables the
-  generation of native compilation objects when ``(mode vo)`` is enabled,
-  irrespective of the configuration of Coq. This will be improved in the future.
+- From version :ref:`Coq lang 0.6<coq-lang>` onwards, the native mode can be
+  automatically detected by Dune by querying ``coqc -config``. You may override
+  this by specifying ``<coq_native_mode>``. Before :ref:`Coq lang
+  0.6<coq-lang>`, the native mode must be manually specified.
