Proposal: make the `module_code` and `export_list` table ceilings runtime-configurable

A proposal to make the `module_code` (max 65,536 loaded modules) and `export_list` (max 524,288 export entries) table size limits in Erlang/OTP runtime-configurable rather than fixed compile-time constants. The author's large application is hitting these limits and suggests an approach similar to `ERL_MAX_ETS_TABLES`, using environment variables like `ERL_MAX_MODULES` and `ERL_MAX_EXPORTS`, with defaults matching current values. The author offers to submit a PR if the approach is accepted.
