Gracious loading of unloaded but blacklisted mods

rebar3's shell allows people to set applications as blacklisted to
prevent them from being reloaded because that can cause crashes.
However, as part of its normal operations, rebar_paths unloads all
modules that are currently not "owned" by at least one process,
considering them safe to do so.

These two behaviours, put together, lead to an odd thing where some
modules are suddenly unloaded and not in path, and that can be
confusing.

This calls for a unification of both features. We could decide to be
pushing the complexity of rebar3's shell into rebar_path so it knows of
blacklists, but this would be a bad idea because rebar_agent already
owns all the damn hack.

So instead this fix adds an optional call within rebar_agent's
blacklisted applications handling that calls `code:ensure_loaded/1` on
their modules. This avoids forcing any code change that would cause a
crash, but reinstates unloaded paths that could be confusing.
