sys_core_fold: Eliminate name capture bug
The scope is supposed to contain all variables that are currently
live. We need this information for certain optimizations to
avoid capturing a name (a name that is in the scope must be renamed;
for an example, see move_let_into_expr/2 or any function that calls
sub_subst_scope/1). We also use the scope to optimize sub_del_var/2
and sub_is_val/2.
When optimizing case expressions, the scope could be reset to an
empty list (because sub_new/0 was called instead of sub_new/1).
That could cause name capture if inlining was turned on.
As simple way to force this bug is to uncomment the
"-define(DEBUG, 1)." near the beginning of the file. Without this
correction, most files in the test suite fail to compile.
