Elixir Compilation Cycles with `--fail-above`

Elixir 1.13.0 introduced a --fail-above flag for the mix xref task which will fail that task execution under a certain criteria.

With that we can verify, for example, that our code is ok to have 1 cycle that goes over length of 4, but not 2 cycles. Let's see how it works:

$ mix xref graph --format cycles --min-cycle-size 4 --fail-above 1
2 cycles found. Showing them in decreasing size:

Cycle of length 6:

    lib/my_app_web/endpoint.ex
    lib/my_app_web/router.ex
    lib/my_app_web/views/layout_view.ex
    lib/my_app_web/live/components/sorting_link.ex
    lib/my_app_web/live/components/icon.ex
    lib/my_app_web/endpoint.ex

Cycle of length 5:

    lib/my_app_web/live/components/sorting_link.ex
    lib/my_app_web/live/components/icon.ex
    lib/my_app_web/router.ex
    lib/my_app_web/views/layout_view.ex
    lib/my_app_web/live/components/sorting_link.ex

** (Mix) Too many cycles (found: 2, permitted: 1)

In this case xref found 2 cycles with a length greater than 4, and as I allowed only 1 then we can see the error.
