[erlang-patches] Promote compiler option 'inline_list_funcs'

The compiler option inline_list_funcs has been present in Erlang/OTP
since at least release R9B0. It enables the inlining of the most used
list manipulation functions of the stdlib's lists module.

This couple of commits fix some wrong warnings triggered by the option
if the result of the inlined function is not actually used and mention
it in the documentation.

+    <p>To enable inlining of list functions, use the <c>inline_list_funcs</c>
