Narrow assertion to match quote (GC removal only); rename claim from ocaml-compiler-ocaml-phase to gc-removed-by-2013

Rename claim ocaml-compiler-38k-lines -> ocaml-compiler-ocaml-phase; remove unsourced 38k line count from assertion (that figure is now in rust-bootc-ocaml-linecount-ef75860:ocaml-bootc-line-count)

The 38k-lines-of-OCaml figure does not appear in this source. Revise assertion and quote to what the MIT Tech Review article actually says about the early compiler era (GC removal by 2013). The line count claim should be separately sourced or removed from the article.
