The gen_server and gen_fsm modules do not selectively receive system messages.
This commit addresses that and allows for them to be consistent with gen_event,
as well as possibly taking advantage of the recent improvements to
selective receive.

Supplemental Questions...
1. I believe, but I am not sure if the selective receive call
optimization triggers... seems like it should.
2. I see that gen_event does do a selective receive, and I believe
this is more correct.. is that true?
https://github.com/DeadZen/otp/blob/maint/lib/stdlib/src/gen_event.erl#L231
<- does
https://github.com/DeadZen/otp/blob/maint/lib/stdlib/src/gen_fsm.erl#L424
<- does not
https://github.com/DeadZen/otp/blob/maint/lib/stdlib/src/gen_server.erl#L374
<- does not
3. Is gen_event a more recent erlang behaviour than gen_server and gen_fsm?
