Erlang/OTP 21.2 is the second service release for the 21st major
release with, improvements as well as a few features!

Highlights:

SSH:

* Public key methods: ssh-ed25519 and ssh-ed448 added. Requires OpenSSL
1.1.1 or later as cryptolib under the OTP application

SSL:

* ssl now uses active n internally to boost performance. Old active
once behaviour can be restored by setting a application variable.

ERTS, Kernel:

* New counters and atomics modules supplies access to highly efficient
operations on mutable fixed word sized variables.

* New module persistent_term!. Lookups are in constant time! No copying
the terms!

* New pollset made to handle sockets that use {active, true} or
{active, N}. Polled by a normal scheduler!

* No more ONESHOT mechanism overhead on fds! Only on Linux and BSD
