reltool would package applications in archives
by default but there is little to no gain in
doing so. Furthermore, this ability pushed
complexity into other parts of Erlang/OTP,
such as the code server, erl_prim_loader, and
the init module.
This release makes it so archives are no longer
supported but the underlying options still warn
to avoid breaking changes. No functionality should
be removed from the assembled released (except
that they will have 100% fewer archives).
