Add system_info(ets_limit) to provide a way to retrieve the runtime's
maximum number of ETS tables. Add tests and documentation for it too.
Also repair the alphabetical order of system_info/1 argument descriptions
in the documentation and in the erlang.erl clauses. Add new preloaded
erlang.erl due to that change. Also ensure all system_info/1 clauses are
represented in the erlang.xml source documentation -- a couple had been
inadvertently dropped in previous commits when other clauses were added.

Functionality for scheduling operations at thread progress later
has been introduced.
Deallocation of ETS table structures were previously done by scheduling
misc aux work. Deallocation of process structures (not released yet)
was also implemented this way. Instead of using the misc aux work
functionality these implementation now use the newly introduced
functionality for scheduling operations at thread progress later. By
using this new functionaliy we reduce the amount of memory
allocation/deallocation operations needed.

All uses of the old deprecated atomic API in the runtime system
have been replaced with the use of the new atomic API. In a lot of
places this change imply a relaxation of memory barriers used.

The compressed format is using a slighty modified variant of the extern format
(term_to_binary). To not worsen key lookup's too much, the top tuple itself
and the key element are not compressed. Table objects with only immediate
non-key elements will therefor not gain anything (but actually consume one
extra word for "alloc_size").
