check_process_code: Sweep HiPE stack for literals
Because check_process_code neglected checking the HiPE stack for references to the literal area, such references would survive the purge and subsequent deletion of a module and its literal area. These dangling references would then cause incorrect behaviour or even hard crashes of the VM. By simply adding a scan of the HiPE stack to check_process_code and erts_garbage_collect_literals, this problem is fixed. In order to support full stack walks without deleting the graylimit trap, a new stack walking interface function, nstack_walk_init_sdesc_ignore_trap() was introduced.
