Merge branch 'dev' into bmk/inets/ftp/missing_spec_causes_dialyxer_problems/OTP-9114

Also fixed a bunch of "end-years" (was 2010 but should have been 2011,
which the commit hook not happy with).

+	    Sanitize the specs of the code module</p>
+          <p>
+	    After the addition of unicode_binary() to the
+	    file:filename() type, dialyzer started complaining about
+	    erroneous or incomplete specs in some functions of the
+	    'code' module. The culprit was hard-coded information in
+	    erl_bif_types for functions of this module, which were
+	    not updated. Since these functions have proper specs
+	    these days and code duplication (pun intended) is never a
+	    good idea, their type information was removed from
+	    erl_bif_types.</p>
+          <p>
+	    While doing this, some erroneous comments were fixed in
+	    the code module and also made sure that the code now runs
+	    without dialyzer warnings even when the
+	    -Wunmatched_returns option is used.</p>
+          <p>
+	    Some cleanups were applied to erl_bif_types too.</p>
