Optimize selective receives in the presence of a large message queue
If a gen_server process has many messages in its message queue and
calls another gen_server process, the selective receive in
gen_server:call() will have to go through the entire message queue.
Have the compiler generate the new mark_recv/1 and mark_recv/1
instructions that can avoid going through the entire message queue.
