OTP 27 reset all assumptions on how the vm reacts to processes that buffer and process a lot of large binaries. Substantially increasing the vheap sizes for such process restores most of the same performance by allowing processes to hold more binary data before major garbage collections are triggered. This introduces a new module to capture process flag configurations. The new vheap sizes are only applied when running on OTP 27 or above. (cherry picked from commit 465b19e)
