[eeps] EEP: Split the atoms!

[Robert Virding]

I would very much like to re-awaken this eep as I see it has clear
benefits. Many times it would be very practical to be able to SAFELY create
atoms at run-time and not risk overflowing the atom table. For long lived
systems this can be crucial. And I could seriously need this in LFE. :-)

Are there any serious problems with adding this except for the case that
some code may become a little slower?
