Docs: Add Range.size, update exavmlib deps

[petermm]

And a small fix to Base.ex adding @compile {:autoload, false}.

This enables running mix docs on exavmlib.
mix docs --version 0.6.5

This looks great to me. This gets us one step closer to using ex_doc to create the documentation, and not be constrained to building documentation with OTP-26.0.2 or prior versions.

turns out Range.size was only added elixir 1.12 - so blocked for now:/

[UncleGrumpy]

Maybe it can be conditionally included, we don't have Version.match? or we could do something similar to what is done here:

https://github.com/elixir-cldr/cldr_utils/blob/44a530f17c3a7265339c3104304f0abfb2eb4687/lib/cldr/decimal/decimal.ex#L24

but maybe there is another clever way to check if the Elixir version is high enough for it to be included.

Also for reference:

Thanks for the pointers, added if Version.match?(System.version(), "~> 1.12") do - and the CI seems happy..

I don't like having to do this - but I like future ex_doc support - hmm.

I can see it leading to some confusion, since the function will appear in the documentation, but won't be available on VMs complied with an older version of Elixir. We should keep the @since pointing at the AtomVM version, but maybe in the doc text it should mention the minimum Elixir version that is required.
