Lower the maximum arity from 256 to 255

Historically, for no good reason, a function is allowed to have
from 0 to 256 arguments. Thus, the number of arguments *almost*
fits into a byte.

HiPE only supports up to 255 arguments (because it assumes that
the function arity fits into a single byte), and fixing that limitation
would require ugly special-case handling. In Dialyzer, the arity
type is defined to be a byte (i.e. 0..255).

Since no-one uses functions with 256 arguments anyway, lower the
limit to 255.
