Store abstract code in the Dbgi chunk
The new Dbgi chunk returns data in the following format: {debug_info_v1, Backend, Data} This allows compilers to store the debug info in different formats. In order to retrieve a particular format, for instance, Erlang Abstract Format, one may invoke: Backend:debug_info(erlang_v1, Module, Data, Opts) Besides introducing the chunk above, this commit also: * Changes beam_lib:chunk(Beam, [:abstract_code]) to read from the new Dbgi chunk while keeping backwards compatibility with old .beams * Adds the {debug_info, {Backend, Data}} option to compile:file/2 and friends that are stored in the Dbgi chunk. This allows the debug info encryption mechanism to work across compilers * Improves dialyzer to work directly on Core Erlang, allowing languages that do not have the Erlang Abstract Format to be dialyzer as long as they emit the new chunk and their backend implementation is available Backwards compatibility is kept across the board except for those calling beam_lib:chunk(Beam, ["Abst"]), as the old chunk is no longer available. Note however the "Abst" chunk has always been optional. Future OTP versions may remove parsing the "Abst" chunk altogether from beam_lib once Erlang 19 and earlier is no longer supported. The current Dialyzer implementation still supports earlier .beam files and such may also be removed in future versions.
