Fix url opened by "dune ocaml doc" #10897

Prior to this change, "dune ocaml doc" would attempt to open an incorrect url in browsers: "file://_build/default/_doc/_html/index.html". This is incorrect because it appears to be a path relative to the project root, but browsers interpret "file://foo/some/path" as the path "/some/path" on the host referred to by "foo". In my experiments however, the "foo" component is ignored and the browser redirects to "file:///some/path" instead. Indeed, when I run "dune ocaml doc" I end up at "file:///default/_doc/_html/index.html", with the "_build" component of the path being ignored, and the remainder of the path treated as an absolute path (which obviously doesn't refer to the correct file).

It seems like droppping the "file://" prefix of the url is enough to get browers to accept the relative path and correctly navigate to "file:///absolute/path/to/index.html". Alternatively we could fix the logic for computing an absolute path to index.html and keep the "file://" prefix of the url, but that seems more complicated. I've updated a variable name from "absolute_toplevel_index_pathh" to "relative_toplevel_index_path" to reflect that it is in fact a path relative to the project root and not an absolute path.

On MacOS I found that without the "file://" component of the URL the "-u" argument to the "open" command no longer works, but just running "open path/to/index.html" opens a browser and navigates to the absolute path to the file.

Looks good to me, xdg-open on my system does accept relative paths and opens them in the browser just fine.

CHANGES:

### Fixed

- Show the context name for errors happening in non-default contexts.
  (ocaml/dune#10414, fixes ocaml/dune#10378, @jchavarri)

- Correctly declare dependencies of indexes so that they are rebuilt when
  needed. (ocaml/dune#10623, @voodoos)

- Don't depend on coq-stdlib being installed when expanding variables
  of the `coq.version` family (ocaml/dune#10631, fixes ocaml/dune#10629, @gares)

- Error out if no files are found when using `copy_files`. (ocaml/dune#10649, @jchavarri)

- Re_export dune-section private library in the dune-site library stanza,
  in order to avoid failure when generating and building sites modules
  with implicit_transitive_deps = false. (ocaml/dune#10650, fixes ocaml/dune#9661, @MA0100)

- Expect test fixes: support multiple modes and fix dependencies when there is
  a custom runner (ocaml/dune#10671, @vouillon)

- In a `(library)` stanza with `(extra_objects)` and `(foreign_stubs)`, avoid
  double linking the extra object files in the final executable.
  (ocaml/dune#10783, fixes ocaml/dune#10785, @nojb)

- Map `(re_export)` library dependencies to the `exports` field in `META` files,
  and vice-versa. This field was proposed in to
  https://discuss.ocaml.org/t/proposal-a-new-exports-field-in-findlib-meta-files/13947.
  The field is included in Dune-generated `META` files only when the Dune lang
  version is >= 3.17.
  (ocaml/dune#10831, fixes ocaml/dune#10830, @nojb)

- Fix staged pps preprocessors on Windows (which were not working at all
  previously) (ocaml/dune#10869, fixes ocaml/dune#10867, @nojb)

- Fix `dune describe` when an executable is disabled with `enabled_if`.
  (ocaml/dune#10881, fixes ocaml/dune#10779, @moyodiallo)

- Fix an issue where C stubs would be rebuilt whenever the stderr of Dune was
  redirected. (ocaml/dune#10883, fixes ocaml/dune#10882, @nojb)

- Format long lists in s-expressions to fill the line instead of formatting
  them in a vertical way (ocaml/dune#10892, fixes ocaml/dune#10860, @nojb)

- Fix the URL opened by the command `dune ocaml doc`. (ocaml/dune#10897, @gridbugs)

- Fix the file referred to in the error/warning message displayed due to the
  dune configuration version not supporting a particular configuration
  stanza in use. (ocaml/dune#10923, @H-ANSEN)

- Fix `enabled_if` when it uses `env` variable. (ocaml/dune#10936, fixes ocaml/dune#10905, @moyodiallo)

- Fix exec -w for relative paths with --root argument (ocaml/dune#10982, @gridbugs)

- Do not ignore the `(locks ..)` field in the `test` and `tests` stanza
  (ocaml/dune#11081, @rgrinberg)

- Tolerate files without extension when generating merlin rules.
  (ocaml/dune#11128, @anmonteiro)

### Added

- Make Merlin/OCaml-LSP aware of "hidden" dependencies used by
  `(implicit_transitive_deps false)` via the `-H` compiler flag. (ocaml/dune#10535, @voodoos)

- Add support for the -H flag (introduced in OCaml compiler 5.2) in dune
  (requires lang versions 3.17). This adaptation gives
  the correct semantics for `(implicit_transitive_deps false)`.
  (ocaml/dune#10644, fixes ocaml/dune#9333, ocsigen/tyxml#274, ocaml/dune#2733, ocaml/dune#4963, @MA0100)

- Add support for specifying Gitlab organization repositories in `source`
  stanzas (ocaml/dune#10766, fixes ocaml/dune#6723, @H-ANSEN)

- New option to control jsoo sourcemap generation in env and executable stanza
  (ocaml/dune#10777, fixes ocaml/dune#10673, @hhugo)

- One can now control jsoo compilation_mode inside an executable stanza
  (ocaml/dune#10777, fixes ocaml/dune#10673, @hhugo)

- Add support for specifying default values of the `authors`, `maintainers`, and
  `license` stanzas of the `dune-project` file via the dune config file. Default
  values are set using the `(project_defaults)` stanza (ocaml/dune#10835, @H-ANSEN)

- Add names to source tree events in performance traces (ocaml/dune#10884, @jchavarri)

- Add `codeberg` as an option for defining project sources in dune-project
  files. For example, `(source (codeberg user/repo))`. (ocaml/dune#10904, @nlordell)

- `dune runtest` can now run individual tests with `dune runtest mytest.t`
  (ocaml/dune#11041, @Alizter).

- Wasm_of_ocaml support (ocaml/dune#11093, @vouillon)

- Add a `coqdep_flags` field to the `coq` field of the `env` stanza, and to the `coq.theory` stanza, allowing to configure `coqdep` flags.
  (ocaml/dune#11094, @rlepigre)

### Changed

- Remove all remnants of the experimental `patch-back-source-tree`. (ocaml/dune#10771,
  @rgrinberg)

- Change the preset value for author and maintainer fields in the
  `dune-project` file to encourage including emails. (ocaml/dune#10848, @punchagan)

- Tweak the preset value for tags in the `dune-project` file to hint at topics
  not having a special meaning. (ocaml/dune#10849, @punchagan)

- Change some colors to improve readability in light-mode terminals
  (ocaml/dune#10890, @gridbugs)

- Forward the linkall flag to jsoo in whole program compilation as well (ocaml/dune#10935, @hhugo)

- Configurator uses `pkgconf` as pkg-config implementation when available
  and forwards it the `target` of `ocamlc -config`. (ocaml/dune#10937, @pirbo)

- Enable Dune cache by default. Add a new Dune cache setting
  `enabled-except-user-rules`, which enables the Dune cache, but excludes
  user-written rules from it. This is a conservative choice that can avoid
  breaking rules whose dependencies are not correctly specified. This is the
  current default. (ocaml/dune#10944, ocaml/dune#10710, @nojb, @ElectreAAS)

- Do not add `dune` dependency in `dune-project` when creating projects with
  `dune init proj`. The Dune dependency is implicitely added when generating
  opam files (ocaml/dune#11129, @Leonidas-from-XIV)
