Subject: [PATCH] Eliminate moves in catches

Consider this function:

foo(X) ->
        try
            {ok, bar(1, [X])}
        catch
            _:_:_ -> error
        end.

Compiled with OTP 24, the first part of the function looks like this:

{allocate,1,1}.
    {'try',{y,0},{f,3}}.
    {test_heap,2,1}.
    {put_list,{x,0},nil,{x,1}}.
    {move,{integer,1},{x,0}}.
    {line,[{location,"t.erl",6}]}.
    {call,2,{f,5}}.

Here there is an `allocate` instruction, and after the `try` a
`test_heap` instruction. d5fb2115710fb7 (in #5652) hoists the
building of the list and combines the `allocate` and `test_heap`
instructions:

{allocate_heap,1,2,1}.
    {put_list,{x,0},nil,{x,0}}.
    {'try',{y,0},{f,3}}.
    {move,{x,0},{x,1}}.           %Extra move instruction.
    {move,{integer,1},{x,0}}.
    {line,[{location,"t.erl",6}]}.
    {call,2,{f,5}}. % bar/2

Unfortunately, an extra `move` instruction is introduced because
the `put_list` instruction places its result `{x,0}` instead of
`{x,1}`.

This commit extends an existing optimization in `beam_ssa_pre_codegen`
so that the `move` instruction can be eliminated:

{allocate_heap,1,2,1}.
    {put_list,{x,0},nil,{x,1}}.
    {'try',{y,0},{f,3}}.
    {move,{integer,1},{x,0}}.
    {line,[{location,"t.erl",6}]}.
    {call,2,{f,5}}. % bar/2

Now the `put_list` places its result directly into `{x,1}`.
