Remove Pkg.dir from LOAD_PATH

[KristofferC]

Would be good to have it removed for alpha because it will be removed in 0.7. Will also force people to use the new package manager (or at least put in a little bit of work to avoid using it...).

I have a simple patch to do this:

diff --git a/stdlib/Pkg/src/Pkg.jl b/stdlib/Pkg/src/Pkg.jl
index 11e1c03a8c..01f774a344 100644

-        push!(Base.LOAD_PATH, dir)
-    end
-end

That works, but I wanted a solution where doing using OldPkg automatically adds Pkg.dir to LOAD_PATH. However, it requires removing OldPkg from the sysimg which is a little tricky and I haven't quite gotten working yet (too much travel and other nonsense this week). But perhaps the fancy version is unnecessary and we can just tell people that they need to do using OldPkg; push!(LOAD_PATH, OldPkg.dir). Thoughts?

Should remove the using Pkg in the precompile stuff in loading.jl as well.

I think this is done.
