Almost all uses of the 'long' datatype is removed from VM and tests
Emulator test now runs w/o drivers crashing
Nasty abs bug fixed in VM as well as type errors in allocator debug functions
Still one allocator test that fails, domain knowledge is needed to fix that.
Fix type inconsistency in beam_load causing crashes

Can still not setup -a, but cerl works.

Queues used for communication between async threads and scheduler threads
have been replaced with lock-free queues.
Drivers using the driver_async functionality are not automatically locked
to the system anymore, and can be unloaded as any dynamically linked in
driver.
Scheduling of ready async jobs is now also interleaved in between other
jobs. Previously all ready async jobs was performed at once.

Change erl_int_sizes_config to include HALFWORD_HEAP_EMULATOR,
which make it possible for the NIFs to figure out the term size.

Store Erlang terms in 32-bit entities on the heap, expanding the
pointers to 64-bit when needed. This works because all terms are stored
on addresses in the 32-bit address range (the 32 most significant bits
of pointers to term data are always 0).
Introduce a new datatype called UWord (along with its companion SWord),
which is an integer having the exact same size as the machine word
(a void *), but might be larger than Eterm/Uint.
Store code as machine words, as the instructions are pointers to
executable code which might reside outside the 32-bit address range.
Continuation pointers are stored on the 32-bit stack and hence must
point to addresses in the low range, which means that loaded beam code
much be placed in the low 32-bit address range (but, as said earlier,
the instructions themselves are full words).
No Erlang term data can be stored on C stacks (enforced by an
earlier commit).
This version gives a prompt, but test cases still fail (and dump core).
The loader (and emulator loop) has instruction packing disabled.
The main issues has been in rewriting loader and actual virtual
machine. Subsystems (like distribution) does not work yet.
