Fix unsafe bit syntax matching optimization
As part of sys_core_fold, variables involved in bit syntax matching would be annotated when it would be safe for a later pass to do the delayed sub-binary creation optimization. An implicit assumption regarding the annotation was that the code must not be further optimized. That assumption was broken in 05130e48555891, which introduced a fixpoint iteration (applying the optimizations until there were no more changes). That means that a variable could be annotated as safe for reusing the match context in one iteration, but a later iteration could rewrite the code in a way that would make the optimization unsafe. One way to fix this would be to clear all reuse_for_context annotations before each iteration. But that would be wasteful. Instead I chose to fix the problem by moving out the annotation code to a separate pass (sys_core_bsm) that is run later after all major optimizations of Core Erlang has been done.
