Sometimes the beam_bool pass wants to know whether an
y register will be killed by the code that follows and
will do (effectively):
beam_utils:is_killed({y,Y}, Code, L)
When asked to calculate the liveness for an y register,
beam_utils:is_killed/3 will loop forever if the code
includes a receive loop.
Since this rarely occurs, fix the problem in the simplest
and most conservative way.

When gc_bif instructions occurred outside of a block,
beam_utils:check_liveness/3 did not take into account
that the instruction could do a garbage collection, and
could falsely report that an x register would be killed.
That could cause the beam_dead pass to make the code
unsafe by removing the assignment to an x register that
would subsequently be referenced by the garbage collector.

The code for generating the string table (which is now
only used for bit syntax matching) in a BEAM file is quite
complicated and potentially expensive when compiling modules
with many thousands of clauses doing bit syntax matching.
Simplify and optimize the code using bit syntax and
binary:match/2 instead of the list operations in the
original code.
