The functions utilize proc_lib:stop, which in turn utilizes
sys:terminate.

Most of the updates have already been made in
'Fix alternative registry type annotations in supervisor',

Thanks to MaximMinin.

It is equivalent to the few lines removed, except more efficient.

Move some operations that aren't required for the happy path.
The operations were small, so they shouldn't show a big difference
in benchmarks except for systems with many active gen processes.

OTP behaviour instances (gen_server, gen_fsm, gen_event) can currently
register themselves either locally or globally, and the behaviour
libraries (including gen.erl) support both addressing methods, as well
as the normal Pid and {Name, Node}.
However, there are alternative registry implementations - e.g. gproc -
and one can well imagine other ways of locating a behaviour instance,
e.g. on a node connected only via a TCP tunnel, rather than via
Distributed Erlang. In all these cases, one needs to write extra code
to identify the behaviour instance, even though the instance itself
need not be aware of how it is located.
This patch introduces a new way of locating a behaviour instance:
{via, Module, Name}.
Module is expected to export a subset of the functions in global.erl,
namely:
register_name(Name, Pid) -> yes | no
whereis_name(Name) -> pid() | undefined
unregister_name(Name) -> ok
send(Name, Msg) -> Pid
Semantics are expected to be the same as for global.erl
This can be used in all places where {global, Name} is accepted.

Calls to global:whereis_name/1 have been substituted for calls to
global:safe_whereis_name/1 since the latter is not safe at all.
The reason for not doing this earlier is that setting a global lock
masked out a bug concerning the restart of supervised children. The
bug has now been fixed by a modification of global:whereis_name/1.
(Thanks to Ulf Wiger for code contribution.)

Port the gen_fsm code for format_status to gen_event in order to
prevent a lists:concat([...,pid()]) crash when calling
sys:get_status/1 on an unregistered gen_event process.
Refactor format_status header code from gen_* behaviours to module gen.
Extend the format_status tests in gen_event_SUITE to cover
format_status bugs with anonymous gen_event processes.

compiler test: Test optimization of receive statements
Optimize selective receives in the presence of a large message queue
Introduce the new recv_mark/1 and recv_mark/1 instructions
Compile tests that communicate with R12 nodes with the r12 option
Move p_run/2 to test_lib
gen: Inline wait_resp_mon/2 to help the compiler optimize
OTP-8623 bg/opt-receive
reveive statements that can only read out a newly created reference are now
specially optimized so that it will execute in constant time regardless of
the number of messages in the receive queue for the process. That
optimization will benefit calls to gen_server:call(). (See gen:do_call/4
for an example of a receive statement that will be optimized.)

We are about to introduce a new optimization that requires
the creation of a monitor and the following receive statement
to be in the same function.
