+ Fix -spec for file:write_file/3</p>

+ Change type for second parameter from binary() to
+ iodata(), since the function explicitly takes steps to
+ accept lists as well as binaries. (thanks to Magnus

+ 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>
