modules documentation

[Zefram <zefram@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

This patch documents the zmodload builtin and the module_path parameter.
I documented the state of module loading as it is after recent patches
from me are applied, so this will need changes if one or more of my
patches don't get into the baseline.

More importantly, it adds infrastructure in Doc/Makefile.in to support
conditional inclusion in the man pages.  All the added documentation
only appears if zsh is configured for dynamic module loading.
