beam_validator: Strengthen validation of GC instructions
beam_validator did not verify that the Y registers were initialized
before executing the following instructions that could cause a GC:
bs_append/8
bs_init2/6
bs_init_bits/6
gc_bif1/5
gc_bif2/6
gc_bif3/7
test_heap/2
That means that, for example, an incorrect optimization that replaced
an 'allocate_zero' instruction with an 'allocate' instruction when it
was not safe, would not be rejected by beam_validtor, but would
instead cause a crash or other undefined behavior at runtime.
Also fix a minor bug in beam_type exposed by the stronger checking.
When compiling from .S files, beam_type did not handle the
init/1 instruction and could produce unsafe code.
