Introduce HAllocX to allocate heap fragments with a larger capacity
than requested and by that reduce the number of fragments allocated.

In halfword emulator, make ETS use a variant of the internal term
format that uses relative offsets instead of absolute pointers. This
will allow storage in high memory (>4G). Preprocessor macros (like
list_val_rel(TERM,BASE)) are used to make normal (fullword) emulator
almost completely unchanged while still reusing most of the code.

elib_malloc is an alternate memory allocator that
is no longer possible to build.

Merging the three off-heap lists (binaries, funs and externals) into
one list. This reduces memory consumption by two words (pointers) per
ETS object.

erlang:decode_packet/3) to work with 8 bits characters

New NIF features:
Send messages from a NIF, or from thread created by NIF, to any local
process (enif_send)
Store terms between NIF calls (enif_alloc_env, enif_make_copy)
Create binary terms with user defined memory management
(enif_make_resource_binary)

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.

This is the first step in the implementation of the half-word emulator,
a 64-bit emulator where all pointers to heap data will be stored
in 32-bit words. Code specific for this emulator variant is
conditionally compiled when the HALFWORD_HEAP define has
a non-zero value.
First force all pointers to heap data to fall into a single 32-bit range,
but still store them in 64-bit words.
Temporary term data stored on C stack is moved into scheduler specific
storage (allocated as heaps) and macros are added to make this
happen only in emulators where this is needed. For a vanilla VM the
temporary terms are still stored on the C stack.

fragments was created. This will mainly benefit NIFs that return
large compound terms.
