Explictly explain that package-initialize loads the packages
* lisp/emacs-lisp/package.el (package-initialize): Be explicit in saying that `package-initialize' obviates adjusting the path or requiring the packages, as this is a question that apparently comes up now and then (bug#18829). (cherry picked from commit 619e0aedb2f3dbfe6821ac34e2d25b4e5c181117)
