Correct error behavior of is_map_key/2 in guards
Consider the following functions: foo() -> bar(not_a_map). bar(M) when not is_map_key(a, M) -> ok; bar(_) -> error. What will `foo/0` return? It depends. If the module is compiled with the default compiler options, the return value will be `ok`. If the module is compiled with the `inline` option, the return value will be `error`. The correct value is `error`, because the call to `is_map_key/2` when the second argument is not a map should fail the entire guard. That is the way other failing guards BIFs are handled. For example: foo() -> bar(not_a_tuple). bar(T) when not element(1, T) -> ok; bar(_) -> error. `foo/0` always returns `error` (whether the code is inlined or not). This bug can be fixed by changing the classification of `is_map_key/2` in the `erl_internal` module. It is now classified as a type test, which is incorrect because type tests should not fail. Reclassifying it as a plain guard BIF corrects the bug. This correction also fixes the internal consistency check failure which was reported in: https://bugs.erlang.org/browse/ERL-699
