A bs_start_match2/5 instruction will never fail (take the branch) if
given a match state or a binary. Therefore, the type at the failure
label should be 'term', not match state or binary. Without this
correction, the beam_validator will reject safe programs.

bs_bits_to_bytes2/2 was an experimental instruction added in R11,
but was removed in R12. Although the beam_disasm and beam_validator
modules do support instructions in older releases, there is
no reason to have them support experimental instructions.

Make the recv_mark/1 and recv_mark/1 instructions known to the
compiler and run-time system. For the moment, make the loader ignore
any occurrences of those instructions in BEAM files.
Also update hipe_beam_to_icode to ignore those instructions.

beam_validator: fix incorrect assumptions about GC guard BIFs
OTP-8378 In rare circumstances when using garbaging collecting guard BIFs,
the validation pass (beam_validator) would signal that the code
was unsafe, when it in fact was correct. (Thanks to Kiran
Khaladkar.)

The beam_validator pass incorrectly assumes that a GC guard
BIF (such as length/1) may first do a garbage collection
and then fail. That assumption is not correct (guards BIF
only do garbage collection when it is known that the BIF
call will succeed), and will cause the compiler to reject
valid programs.
Modify the beam_validator to assume that if the branch is
taken for a gc_bif instruction, all registers are unchanged
and no garbage collection has occurred. Also add a comment
in the emulator about that assumption.
