beam_block: Avoid unsafe inclusion of get_map_elements in blocks

c2035ebb8b restricted the get_map_elements instruction so that it
could only occur at the beginning of a block. It turns out that
including it anywhere in a block is unsafe.

Therefore, never put get_map_elements instruction in blocks.

(Also remove the beam_utils:join_even/2 function since it is no
longer used.)
