v3_codegen: Don't let exit BIFs force a stack frame
This is an enhancement of the optimization added in 2e5d6201bb044, where we tried to avoid forcing a stack frame for functions that don't really need them. That optimization would not suppress the stack frame for this function: f(A) -> Res = case A of a -> x; b -> y end, {ok,Res}. The reason is that internally the compiler would rewrite the code to something like this: f(A) -> Res = case A of a -> x; b -> y; Other -> error({case_clause,Other}) end, {ok,Res}. The call to error/1 would force creation of a stack frame, even though it is not really needed because error/1 causes an exception. Handle calls to exit BIFs specially to allow suppressing the stack frame.
