With OTP 27.0 the xmerl tests showed a markedly increased run-time. Profiling pointed to beam_ssa_ss:prune/2 as the culprit. It turns out that if there are long value derivation chains which are extended one element at a time (such as in the ss_depth_limit.erl test-case in this patch), the effective time complexity of prune will be O(n^2) where n is the number of elements in the chain.

By limiting the depth of the sharing state tree, we can avoid the drastically increased run-times for the alias analysis. This is a stop-gap fix until the alias analysis can be improved to avoid this pit-fall.

Thanks! Looks good to me.

Can you rebase onto the OTP-27.0 label so that we can include this branch in the next emergency patch? (Only rebase; keep the target for the pull request as maint.)
