erl_bifs: Remove pure BIFs serving no useful purpose
Functions that can are known be pure can be evaluated at compile-time if the arguments are literals and if the result is expressible as a literal. list_to_ref/1 and list_to_port/1 returns terms that cannot be expressed as literals, so the optimization is not possible. The argument for port_to_list/1 is never a literal, so there is no way to evaluate it at compile-time. Therefore, marking those functions as pure serves no useful purpose. Note: list_to_pid/1 *is* marked as pure, but only so that we can test the code in sys_core_fold that rejects pure functions that evaluate to at term that is not possible to express as a literal. It is sufficient to have one pure function of that kind.
