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.
