Migrate from ulex to sedlex #37

Long story short - ulex is dying, mainstream depends on the camlp4, which is dead, fork depends on the camlp5, which seems dead too. This prevents from porting to more modern OCaml versions and dependencies versions.

See these links for more information:

Sedlex is an active maintained project by OCaml community: https://github.com/ocaml-community/sedlex

Seems it just boils down to crafting a new release: http://opam.ocaml.org/packages/lambdoc/
