beam_validator: Handle unreachable instructions
ab03678e introduced an optimization in the beam_z pass that could introduce unreachable code in BEAM files (a 'jump' instruction is removed after a 'raise' instruction, but the code following the target of the 'jump' is not removed). Since this situation happens very rarely, there is no point in adding another pass that can remove unreachable code after beam_z. Instead we will make sure that beam_validator can skip the unreachable code. Skipping unreachable code is already done in valfun_1/2 (for historical reasons), but we will also need to do it in val_dsetel/2.
