[erlang-questions] Patch package OTP 21.1 released

[Dan Gudmundsson]

Sam you will have to manually load .erlang from your escript if want that
functionality now.


   -

   Changed the default behaviour of .erlang loading: .erlang is no longer
   loaded from the current directory. c:erlangrc(PathList) can be used to
   search and load an .erlang file from user specified directories.

   escript, erlc, dialyzer and typer no longer load an .erlang at all.

   *** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***
