Enable the checker in .merlin presence

Problem: some projects don't use Dune, while using Merlin, configured
   with the .merlin file. `flycheck-ocaml` is only turned on if the
   «dune-project» file is present though. As a result,
   `flycheck-ocaml` is disabled for such projects.

Solution: enable the `flycheck-ocaml` checker if either dune-project
   or .merlin are present.

In a round-about way this fixes #15. People who don't use Dune, don't
   need to create an empty dune-project to use the checker, which was
   misleading.
