[compiler-hacking] Use of opam-compiler-conf: install packages

[Runhang Li]

Hi, Olivier

Which version of Core are you trying to install? From opam page[1], I can see Jane Street has relaxed version constraint since 113.24.01.
Another way is to download a copy of the source code locally, modify the constraint in opam file, and use ``opam pin add core .`` to install this local copy.
