beam_makeops: Introduce the new type 'W' (machine word)
As a preparation for potentially improving packing in the future, we will need to make sure that packable types have a defined maximum size. The packer algorithm assumes that two 'I' operands can be packed into one 64-bit word, but there are instructions that use an 'I' operand to store a pointer. It only works because those instructions are not packed for other reasons. Introduce the 'W' type and use it for operands that don't fit in 32 bits.
