This grew out of the work I'm doing to read toolchain information from the opam repo rather than hardcoding it (https://github.com/tarides/team-build-system/issues/11), but the main benefit of this change is that it removes a bunch of special cases I needed to add so that packages containing toolchains were ignored by most of the package rules.
It's also going to make it easier to thread the extra information needed to represent the
ocaml-variants
toolchain to the parts of the code where it's needed in a later change.
