This has two main advantages:
- By setting hasSharedObjects = true, buildOcaml will automatically
include a setup-hook.sh that sets CAML_LD_LIBRARY_PATH in dependent
expressions. This is needed to pick up dllzarith.so properly which is
shipped as part of the library.
- We can kill the ugly assert in the expression and instead change it
to use minimumSupportedOcamlVersion.
(Note: this was reverted in b44d5136e8, but the change is
exactly equivalent -- I wasn't sure what impact zarith might actually
have without checking OfBorg, which I wanted to do first.)

In line with the Nixpkgs manual.
A mechanical change, done with this command:
find pkgs -name "*.nix" | \
while read f; do \
sed -e 's/description\s*=\s*"\([a-z]\)/description = "\u\1/' -i "$f"; \
done
I manually skipped some:
* Descriptions starting with an abbreviation, a user name or package name
* Frequently generated expressions (haskell-packages.nix)
