All uses of the old deprecated atomic API in the runtime system
have been replaced with the use of the new atomic API. In a lot of
places this change imply a relaxation of memory barriers used.

* bjorn/fix-binary-overflow/OTP-9118:
Fix overflow in list_to_bitstring/1
Replace io_list_len() with erts_iolist_size()
Make port_command/2 reject non-byte sized bitstrings
io.c: Make io_list_vec_len() less general
iolist_size/1: Fix truncation of result
Test iolist_size/1 with bad arguments
binary_SUITE: Remove workaround for avoiding stack overflow

The io_list_len() function returns an int, where a negative return
value indicates a type error. One problem is that an int only consists
of 32 bits in a 64-bit emulator. Changing the return type to Sint
will solve that problem, but in the 32-bit emulator, a large iolist
and a iolist with a type error will both return a negative number.
(Noticed by Jon Meredith.)
Another problem is that for iolists whose total size exceed the
word size, the result would be truncated, leading to a subsequent
buffer overflow and emulator crash.
Therefore, introduce the new erts_iolist_size() function which
returns a status indication and writes the result size through
a passed pointer. If the result size does not fit in a word,
return an overflow indication.

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.

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
