Don't generate code for transparent functions.

They are mandatory inlined anyway. Therefore the binary code of transparent functions is not used in most cases.
In case the address of a transparent function is taken, the main program (which deserialized the transparent function) generates code for it and treats it as shared function.

This reduces the stdlib code size by 2.8%.
