Erlang/OTP Update

" summary

Release last month updates the BEAM VM and compiler with concrete changes: BEAM JIT yields up to 50% speedup on hot-path benchmarks, a new native_record representation reduces allocation and adds a compilation warning flag, comprehensions now allow multiple combined generators, and the supervisor children path is reworked so restart/control latency drops under ~299 microseconds. Demos use compiler flags and microbenchmarks against existing OTP releases and show the optimizations actually land.
