[erlang-questions] Detect beam compilation target

[Vlad Dumitrescu]

Thanks! I was a bit confused that all the files I had looked at had the
same value, regardless. My error was that I didn't think that the value
depends on the code actually in that module. Checking for example maps.beam
gives a different value.

So now I only have to find out if there is a table mapping the max opcode
value to the beam runtime version.

best regards,
Vlad
