beam_makeops: Eliminate crash because of unsafe packing
Consider an hypothetical instruction: do_something x x c The loader would crash if we tried to load an instance of the instruction with the last operand referencing a literal: {do_something,{x,0},{x,1},{literal,{a,b,c}}} Teach beam_makeops to turn off packing for such unsafe instructions.
