Improve the Pretty Printer

Efene pretty printer (fn_pp.erl) has some corner cases where indentation is broken, take it to go fmt level.

Erlang Compatibility Tests

Write tests that check that efene and erlang code that do the same thing actually do the same thing.

For example write the code twice generating output and diffing the output.

A more complex solution is to compare the generated ast ignoring line numbers.
