Subject: [PATCH] Improve optimization of binary matching

The pattern matching compiler conservatively assumed that binary
patterns can never be re-ordered. Actually it is safe to re-order
clauses that match binaries if the first segment in each clause
match the same number of bits. Re-ordering clauses can help
generating better code and also help detect redundant clauses.

For the following code:

word(<<"AND">>) -> <<"and">>;
    word(<<"AS">>) -> <<"as">>;
    word(<<"A">>) -> <<"a">>;
    word(<<"AS">>) -> <<"as">>.

the compiler will now generate the following warning:

t.erl:6:1: Warning: this clause cannot match because a previous clause at line 5 always matches
    %    6| word(<<"AS">>) -> <<"as">>;
    %     | ^

The compiler will also generate slightly better code for the same
example without the redundant clause:

word(<<"AND">>) -> <<"and">>;
    word(<<"AS">>) -> <<"as">>;
    word(<<"A">>) -> <<"a">>.

Closes #6535
