Eliminate get_list/3 internally in the compiler
Instructions that produce more than one result complicate optimizations. get_list/3 is one of two instructions that produce multiple results (get_map_elements/3 is the other). Introduce the get_hd/2 and get_tl/2 instructions that return the head and tail of a cons cell, respectively, and use it internally in all optimization passes. For efficiency, we still want to use get_list/3 if both head and tail are used, so we will translate matching pairs of get_hd and get_tl back to get_list instructions.
