[erlang-patches] Patch for dialyzer complaining on certain binary comprehensions

[Stavros Aronis]

Hi Ivan,

I have added your patch in a series of patches for Dialyzer I am about to
send. I have also amended it to include the testcase you provide.

Just for the record, if a test is not supposed to return any warnings,
including it in Dialyzer's testsuites is as simple as putting the source
file in one of the *_SUITE_data/src directories (if warnings are expected,
they should be listed in a similar file in *_SUITE_data/results).

Thank you for your contribution,

Stavros
