OTP 24.1 Release

Highlights

  *   OTP: The Efficiency Guide<https://erlang.org/doc/efficiency_guide/users_guide.html> has been extended with a chapter about maps.

  *   Stdlib: Most output functions in the io module now print extra
error information when provided with invalid arguments.
The functions are: io:format, io:fwrite, io:put_chars,
io:nl and io:write.

  *   Erts: init:stop() no longer unloads loaded code before
terminating the runtime system. On systems with slow
CPUs (such as Raspberry PI Zero), that can
significantly speed up termination of the runtime system.
