Eliminate use of GetArg1() in the select_val instruction
Instead of having one i_select_val_sfI instruction that uses the GetArg1() macro to fetch the controlling expression, use three separate instructions for each of the register types. That will save one word when selecting on the {x,0} register. It should also be slightly faster since a conditional branch is eliminated. Although it seems that the BEAM compiler will never generate a constant controlling expression (even with optimizations turned off), we still make sure that they will work by evaluating the select_val instruction at load time. Handle the select_tuple_arity instruction in the same way.
