Consistently rewrite an inlined function_clause exception to case_clause
A function_clause exception is generated by jumping to a func_info/3 instruction at the beginning of the function. The x registers are assumed to contain the arguments for the function. That means that a func_info/3 instruction copied from another function (or even from the same function if not at the top level) will not work, so it must be replaced with an instruction that generates a case_clause exception. In Core Erlang, a func_info/3 instruction is represented as a the primop match_fail({function_clause,Arg1,...ArgN}). The current mechanism that is supposed to replace the primop match_fail(function_clause) with match_fail(case_clause) will fail to do that in the following circumstances: 1. If the inliner has inlined a function into itself. Fix that by having the inliner clear the function_name annotations on all match_fail primops in functions that are inlined. (To simplify doing that, the annotation is now on the primop node itself and not on the 'function_clause' atom inside it.) 2. If the inliner has rewritten the tuple node in the primop node to a literal (when inlining a function call with literal arguments), v3_kernel would not recognize the match_fail(function_clause) primop and would not rewrite it. Fix it by making v3_kernel smarter. Also simplify the "old" inliner (sys_core_inline) to only clear the function_name annotations instead of rewriting function_clause execptions to case_clause execptions itself.
