It is time to clean up the mess of back-ends.
Remove all the obsolete back-ends and simplify the options used
to select them.
New Option Old Equivalent
---------- --------------
ber ber_bin,optimize,nif
per per,optimize,nif
uper uper_bin
The old options will still be recognized and translated to the
new options, but will also print a warning.
That implies that deprecated features that only are implemented
in the old 'ber' back-end will no longer work (e.g. the
{Typename,Value} notation).
Also make the return type for the generated encode/2 function
consistent. It used to be a binary for per and uper, and an iolist
for ber. Always make it a binary.
