Change the return value of hipe_bifs:remove_refs_from/1

In order to avoid an ummatched return warning in erts and make the code
more sane, the return value of the bif was changed from [] to 'ok'.
(Probably more hipe_bifs need such changes but they will have to wait.)

While at it, the code of various functions in hipe_unified_loader was
shortened by using lists:foreach/1 instead of explicit recursion.
