Stop trying to maximize the use of x(0)
X register 0 used to be mapped to a hardware register, and therefore
faster than the other registers. Because of that, the compiler
tried to use x(0) as much as possible as a temporary register.
That was changed a few releases ago. X register 0 is now placed
in the array of all X registers and has no special speed
advantage compared to the other registers.
Remove the code in the compiler that attempts to use x(0) as
much as possible. As a result, the following type of instruction
will be much less frequent:
{put_list,Src,{x,0},{x,0}}
Instead, the following type of instruction will be more frequent:
{put_list,Src,{x,X},{x,X}}
(Where X is an arbitrary X register.)
Update the runtime system to specialize that kind of put_list
instruction.
