Fix side-effect optimization when compiling from Core Erlang
When an expression is only used for its side effects, we try to
remove everything that doesn't tie into a side-effect, but we
went a bit too far when we applied the optimization to funs
defined in such a context. Consider the following:
do letrec 'f'/0 = fun () -> ... whatever ...
in call 'side':'effect'(apply 'f'/0())
'ok'
When f/0 is optimized under the assumption that its return value
is unused, side:effect/1 will be fed the result of the last
side-effecting expression in f/0 instead of its actual result.
