Work around functions not found in source

For parameterized modules, the beam code will have a compiler
generated new/1 and instance/1 function.

If while checking the beam, xref detects one of those is unused, the
rebars xref wrapper will try to find the location of the definition of
that function in the source code for the module (to give a more
specific warning to the user). Since the function was generated by the
compiler it does not actually exist in the source, and rebar crashes
at that stage. This patch works around that issue.
