ImplementationLoaderService rename

Renamed ImplementationLoaderService to simply LoaderService.  Let me know if I stepped on anyone's toes :)  Will be happy to revert.

Seeing "implements Implementation..." in the code had me lost in an existential "chicken and egg" and "the meaning of meaning" tailspin.  Too deep for me too think about :)

Anyway happy to change it back if someone really liked it.

hi david,

there might be better names for it but both of us haven't found them so far.
in the end "ImplementationLoaderService" exactly describes what it is and
it's clearly different from "ServiceLoader".
in codi i named the similar thing "ServiceProvider". however, in owb it's a
service. besides "LoaderService" i also thought
about "ServiceProviderService" as well as "ServiceLoaderService" but all of
them aren't that nice.
if i have the choice between names which aren't nice, i prefer the most
descriptive one (-> "ImplementationLoaderService").

however, i would be happy to see nice suggestions for a better name.

regards,
gerhard
