beam_utils: Be less conservative about liveness for exit instructions
beam_utils used to be overly conservative about liveness for exit instructions such as: call_ext erlang:exit/1 beam_utils would consider all y registers to be used, to avoid overwriting a catch or try tag. That does not seem to be a real risk. However, we miss opportunities for stack trimming if we consider y registers used by an exit instruction.
