erlc_SUITE: Fix arg_overflow/1 test case
In commit be8759e68b337524c056b8bb757ea68c9996d863, a buffer overflow
was fixed in erlc and the erlc_SUITE:arg_overflow/1 test case was
added. That test cases invokes erlc with 10000 -D options, which will
result in 'erl' being invoked with more than 30000 arguments.
On some platforms, the test case will fail for the wrong reason:
* 64-bit Linux kernels before 2.6.23 limit the number of arguments in
an excvp() call to 16383. (See "Number of arguments and maximum length
of one argument" in http://www.in-ulm.de/~mascheck/various/argmax/.)
* The command shell in Windows limits the size of the command line to
8191 characters.
Depending on the platform, pass a different number of -D options
to erlc. Since the size of the options does not matter for this
test case, make the options as short as possible by generating
numbers in base 36.
