Shared modules and Rule HIDE

When HIDE is on, LoadModule does not work. This is because the documented
syntax is (say)

 LoadModule access_module modules/mod_access.so

but the internal structure name has been hidden to "AP_access_module". Now
it is easy to make mod_so prepend AP_ to the structure name before
resolving it, but then it won't work for third-party modules whose module
structure names are not mapped in hide.h.

Also of course modules compiled with HIDE=no will not load into Apache
compiled with HIDE=yes, and vice versa. Um.
