scripts: deduplicate InfraLib in favour of fsx's

The InfraLib/ folder inside scripts was just an old version of
fsx's InfraLib, and given that a) we just fixed an important
hang in the latter; b) we already had a submodule for it; then
we're switching to just use the submodule directly.

This has two consequences:
1) The submodule has to always be populated, so we changed the
configure script to always do it.
2) InfraLib's Process API has been overhauled so there's a lot
of changes related to that in this commit.

 Our priority list is [the Kanban view of our issue/task list](https://gitlab.com/nblockchain/geewallet/boards).
 
 Some other items that haven't been prioritized include (likely only intelligible if you're already a contributor):
-- Switch to use https://github.com/madelson/MedallionShell in Infra.fs (we might want to use paket instead of nuget for this, as it's friendlier to .fsx scripts, see https://cockneycoder.wordpress.com/2017/08/07/getting-started-with-paket-part-1/, or wait for https://github.com/Microsoft/visualfsharp/pull/5850).
 - Study the need for ConfigureAwait(false) in the backend (or similar & easier approaches such as https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/benwilli/2017/02/09/an-alternative-to-configureawaitfalse-everywhere/ or https://github.com/Fody/ConfigureAwait ).
 - Develop a `Maybe<'T>` type that wraps `ValueOption<'T>` type (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/fsharp/language-reference/value-options) (faster to type this way) but doesn't expose the `Value` property (for safety).
 - Speed improvements:
