beam_validator: Strengthen validation of GC instructions
beam_validator did not verify that the Y registers were initialized before executing the following instructions that could cause a GC: bs_append/8 bs_init2/6 bs_init_bits/6 gc_bif1/5 gc_bif2/6 gc_bif3/7 test_heap/2 That means that, for example, an incorrect optimization that replaced an 'allocate_zero' instruction with an 'allocate' instruction when it was not safe, would not be rejected by beam_validtor, but would instead cause a crash or other undefined behavior at runtime. Also fix a minor bug in beam_type exposed by the stronger checking. When compiling from .S files, beam_type did not handle the init/1 instruction and could produce unsafe code.
