In particular, this includes the full original binary and all the references.
Gathering this information requires full heap traversal, so is fairly expensive -
that's why we keep both the existing `binary` and this new API.
Example:
```
1> A = <<0:(1024*8)>>.
2> <<B:550/bitstring,D:550/bits,E:550/bits,C/bitstring>> = A.
3> erlang:process_info(self(),[binary_full]).
[{binary_full,[{126812357133856,1024,1,
<<0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,...>>,
[{1100,1650},{550,1100},{1650,8192},{0,550},{0,8192}]}]}]
```
