code:set_path/1 no longer returns {error,bad_path} (an exception
will be thrown instead).

Add functions to 'code' to allow loading of multiple modules
at once.
code:atomic_load(Modules) will load all modules at once, or fail
having loaded none of them. Since we cannot guarantee the atomicity if
there are modules with -on_load functions, the list of modules must
not contain any modules with an -on_load function.
Also, to make it possible to put an application into an inactive state
for as short time as possible, also add code:prepare_loading/1 and
code:finish_loading/1. They are used like this:
{ok,Prepared} = code:prepare_loading(Modules)
.
.
.
ok = code:finish_loading(Prepared)
code:ensure_modules_loaded/1 is useful as a pure optimization to
ensure that modules that will be needed soon have indeed been
loaded. It will not reload modules that have already been loaded and
it *will* accept modules that have an on_load function. Therefore, it
does not make sense to give any atomicity guarantees.
I did consider overloading the existing code:ensure_loaded/1
function, but rejected it because the return value is very
different. Having different forms of return values depending
on the types of arguments is confusing.

Some of the error reasons were not explained.

In practice, it does not seem that code path cache can
improve performance. Looking for any file that is not found
will cause the cache to be rebuilt, which will negate any
gain of using the cache.

Rationale:
Some applications (like erlide) have code to be loaded dynamically on a
node. It may be slow to load everything upfront every time, so if the
node is in interactive mode, we would like to just append to the load
path. Currently, there is no direct way to detect if the node is running
in embedded mode or not so that we can do the right thing.
