sys_core_fold: Improve optimization of 'not'

Optimize away 'not' in sys_core_fold instead of in beam_block
and beam_dead, as we can do a better job in sys_core_fold.

I modified the test suite temporarily to never turn off Core Erlang
modifications and looked at the coverage. With the new optimizations
active in sys_core_fold, the code in beam_block and beam_dead did not
find a single 'not' that it could optimize.  That proves that the new
optimization is at least as good as the old one. Manually, I could
also verify that the new optimization would optimize some variations
of 'not' that the old one would not handle.
