feat(extraction): add Erlang language support (.erl/.hrl) (#635, #648) (#1165)

Vendored WhatsApp/tree-sitter-erlang 0.19 (the ELP grammar, ABI 14) with an
Erlang-shaped extractor: multi-clause/multi-arity functions merged into one
symbol, -spec signatures, records with fields, -type/-opaque aliases, -define
macros, -include/-include_lib file edges, and -export-driven visibility.

Modules wrap in a namespace so remote mod:fn(...) calls resolve through the
existing qualified-name matcher as mod::fn with zero resolver changes.
-behaviour declarations link to the behaviour module — gated to namespace
targets only (bare-name fallthrough linked -behaviour(supervisor) to an
unrelated macro constant on emqx). OTP indirection with static targets is
followed: spawn/apply/proc_lib/timer/rpc MFA-argument callees, and
gen_server:call/cast(?MODULE | ?SERVER) to the module's own
handle_call/handle_cast. Var-module dispatch and message sends stay
deliberately unlinked. codegraph_explore also normalizes Erlang-native query
spelling (mod:fn/3, init/2) so named symbols resolve as typed.

Benchmarked on cowboy (189 files), ejabberd (414), emqx (2,447): extraction
PASS on all three; with-codegraph arms reached 2/2/0 file Reads vs 10/5+/19
without, fastest on the largest repo.
