beam_makeops: Prevent truncation when packing 'I' values
BEAM_WIDE_MASK covered the 16 right-most bits, instead of the 32
right-most bits. This bug will bite us when we'll do more packing in
the future.
This bug has been harmless in the past. It has been used in
test_heap and allocate instructions for the number of heap words
needed. It would be theoretically possible to construct a program
that would need 65536 or more heap words, but it is hard to imagine
a practical use for such a program. (The program would have to build
a tuple or list with at least one variable and the rest of the elements
being literals.)
