The code purger process handles vast amounts of messages when
there are lots of processes alive. A single message in the
message queue that does not match will in such cases cause
lots of extra work. The code purger process now always picks
the first message in the message queue, and by this avoid
this extra work.

Ensure that we cannot get any dangling pointers into code that
has been purged. This is done by a two phase purge. At first
phase all fun entries pointing into the code to purge are marked
for purge. All processes trying to call these funs will be suspended
and by this we avoid getting new direct references into the code.
When all processes has been checked, these processes are resumed.
The new purge strategy now also completely ignore the existence of
indirect references to the code (funs). If such exist, they will
cause bad fun exceptions to the caller, but will not prevent a
soft purge or cause a kill of a process having such live references
during a hard purge. This since it is impossible to give any
guarantees that no processes in the system have such indirect
references. Even when the system is completely clean from such
references, new ones can appear via distribution and/or disk.

by ignoring literals.
erts_internal:check_process_code will be called again anyway
(with option {copy_literals, true}) before the module is actually purged.
No need to check literals twice.

* Same process must do enable-disable.
* System process will force it and never get 'aborted'

as it's not a public interface.

Problem: erlang:purge_module/1 is not safe in the sense
that very bad things may happen if the code to be purged
is still referred to by live processes.
Introduce erts_internal:purge_module which is the same as the old
erlang:purge_module BIF (except it returns false if no such old module).
Implement erlang:purge_module in Erlang and let it invoke
erts_code_purger for safe purging where all clogging processes
first are killed.

by moving code from code_server to erts_code_purger.
This is more or less a copy-paste from code_server.erl
to erts_code_purger.erl. All the inner mechanics of
code:purge/1 and code:soft_purge/1 are unchanged.

as a system process with preloaded code.
