Because check_process_code neglected checking the HiPE stack for
references to the literal area, such references would survive the purge
and subsequent deletion of a module and its literal area. These dangling
references would then cause incorrect behaviour or even hard crashes of
the VM.
By simply adding a scan of the HiPE stack to check_process_code and
erts_garbage_collect_literals, this problem is fixed.
In order to support full stack walks without deleting the graylimit
trap, a new stack walking interface function,
nstack_walk_init_sdesc_ignore_trap() was introduced.

An easy source of tricky bugs is to start calling the garbage collector
from a built-in function without adding that bif to hipe_bif_list.m4.
With this change we, in the debug build, keep track of whether the
canonical stack and heap pointers are stored in the PCB or in
registers/stack, allowing us to catch this class of mistakes with an
assertion.

* The youngest generation of the heap can now consist of multiple
blocks. Heap fragments and message fragments are added to the
youngest generation when needed without triggering a GC. After
a GC the youngest generation is contained in one single block.
* The off_heap_message_queue process flag has been added. When
enabled all message data in the queue is kept off heap. When
a message is selected from the queue, the message fragment (or
heap fragment) containing the actual message is attached to the
youngest generation. Messages stored off heap is not part of GC.

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.

Hipe constants used to be allocated within a single, fixed-size pool for
interaction with the garbage collector. However, the garbage collector
no longer depends on constants being allocated within a single pool, and
the fixed size of the pool both meant unnecessary allocations on most
deployments and crashes on deployments requiring more constants.
The code was simplified to directly invoke erts_alloc.
Debugging and undocumented function hipe_bifs:show_literals/0 was
removed (it returned true and output text to the console), and
debugging and undocumented function hipe_bifs:constants_size/0 was
rewritten with a global to count the size of allocated constants.

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)
