compiler: Teach 'slim' to omit compilation info
The original intention for the undocumented 'slim' option was to omit non-essential parts of *.beam files to reduce the size of the primary bootstrap. Therefore, debug information and local function information (only used by xref, not by the loader) are omitted, but information about the compilation time and compiler version are still included. Including compilation information is troublesome, however, when committing the bootstrap into a revision control system, because every beam file is guaranteed to be changed every time the bootstrap is updated. Therefore, change the 'slim' option to also omit compilation information.
