The BeamOp() macro in erl_vm.h is clumsy to use. All users
cast the return value to BeamInstr.
Define new macros that are easier to use. In the future,
we might want to pack an operand into the same word as
the pointer to the instruction, so we will define two macros.
BeamIsOpCode() is used to rewrite code like this:
if (Instr == (BeamInstr) BeamOp(op_i_func_info_IaaI) {
...
}
to:
if (BeamIsOpCode(Instr, op_i_func_info_IaaI)) {
...
}
BeamOpCodeAddr(op_apply_bif) is used when we need the address
for an instruction.
Also elimiminate the global variables em_* in beam_emu.c.
They are not really needed. Use the BeamOpCodeAddr() macro
instead.

This commit adds two new structs to be used to represent
erlang code in erts.
ErtsCodeInfo is used to describe the i_func_info header
that is part of all Export entries and the prelude of
each function. This replaces all the BeamInstr * that
were previously used to point to these locations.
After this change the code should never use BeamInstr *
with offsets to figure out different parts of the
func_info header.
ErtsCodeMFA is a struct that is used to descripe a
MFA in code. It is used within ErtsCodeInfo and also
in Process->current.
All function that previously took Eterm * or BeamInstr *
to identify a MFA now use the ErtsCodeMFA or ErtsCodeInfo
where appropriate.
The code has been tested to work when adding a new field to the
ErtsCodeInfo struct, but some updates are needed in ops.tab to
make it work.

This type of statistics is now available through the microstate
accounting API.

Perfctr is a Linux kernel extension that allows programmatic access
to the performance monitoring counters found in most current CPUs.
However, development of perfctr ceased after 2010, and it cannot be
used with Linux kernels newer than 2.6.32.
Therefore the perfctr support code in the Erlang VM is effectively
dead code, so this patch removes it.

The hybrid heap emulator was last working in the non-SMP R11B
run-time system. When the constant pools were introduced in R12B,
the hybrid heap emulator was not updated to handle them.
At this point, the harm from reduced readability of the code is
greater than any potential usefulness of keeping the code.

The HiPE runtime system has a hipe_bifs:get_hrvtime/0 BIF which
mimics the non-standard gethrvtime() C API. It's possible to
configure the implementation to use the "perfctr" Linux kernel
extension for performance-monitoring counters, in which case
get_hrvtime has very high precision and low overhead. Otherwise
it uses the same code as runtime(statistics).
This patch changes the get_hrvtime implementation to do a runtime
check to see if perfctr is available, and to use the fallback code
rather than returning a dummy value if perfctr is unavailable,
which is common.
The current dummy value return is a bug. It messes up the API
and either breaks callers (they get badarg when trying to compute
on the value) or forces them to implement checks and fallbacks
themselves. Timing code in HiPE's test suites and benchmarks
is known to be affected.
