Subject: Clarify and explain loaded_feature_path and rb_feature_p

* load.c (loaded_feature_path): clarify and briefly comment
  function.  These clarifications have no effect on the behavior
  of the function.

* load.c (rb_feature_p): explain the search loop.  Especially
  useful because the logic is complicated as described in the
  second paragraph.
  Patch by Greg Price.
