Merge branch 'bg/beam_lib' into dev
* bg/beam_lib: Remove redundant includes Make beam_lib:cmp/2 stricter OTP-8625 bg/beam_lib The beam_lib:cmp/2 function now compares BEAM files in stricter way. The BEAM files will be considered different if there are any changes except in the compilation information ("CInf") chunk. beam_lib:cmp/2 used to ignore differences in the debug information (significant for Dialyzer) and other chunks that did not directly change the run-time behavior.
