Relocatable dist

[Brandon Allbery]

Discussion I've been seeing is Hadrian will not be ready for production use
for 8.4. Pulling it in tree is scheduled for 8.4 mostly to make it easier
to keep up to date with other changes and to make it easier to work on and
test the various missing pieces: as I understand it, Hadrian can't yet deal
with all of the various platform special cases, etc. that an actual release
requires.
