Subject: load-args-process: bugfix: :compile action must load.

* stdlib/load-args.tl (load-args-process): When compile-update-file
doesn't do anything due to the compiled file being up-to-date,
the file must be loaded, so that the effect is similar to compiling.
Otherwise subsequent files may fail to compile due to missing
definitions such as packages.

* txr.1: Documented.
