Opam packages: be honest with your dependencies

I made a new release of the rresult package for OCaml >= 4.08 which drops the result shim package dependency.

Expectedly it broke around 80 packages in opam who were getting their result dependency via rresult.

So if you are publishing packages on opam using dune please consider disabling implicit_transitive_deps with:

(implicit_transitive_deps false)

in your packages. This entails less churn for the authors of the packages you use in your owns when they update them.

Thanks !
