beam_block: Eliminate crash in beam_utils
Somewhat simplified, beam_block would rewrite the target for
the first instruction in this code sequence:
move x(0) => y(1)
gc_bif '+' 1 x(0) => y(0)
move y(1) => x(1)
move nil => x(0)
call 2 local_function/2
The resulting code would be:
move x(0) => x(1) %% Changed target.
gc_bif '+' 1 x(0) => y(0)
move x(1) => y(1) %% Operands swapped (see 02d6135813).
move nil => x(0)
call 2 local_function/2
The resulting code is not safe because the x(1) will be killed
by the gc_bif instruction.
7a47b20c3a cleaned up move optimizations and would reject the
optimization if the target was an X register and an allocating
instruction was found. To avoid this bug, the optimization must be
rejected even if the target is a Y register.
