Add support for RAP module loading/unload plus a shell command.
Add a RAP module loading and unloading. This support wraps the dlopen API plus manages calling the entry point. The modules are also held in a list so users can find them, iterator over them and unload them. This API provides a system level way to manage application modules. The find file user needs to manage errors. Load the rap module by default and list the loaded modules. Add the RAP shell command to the shell in main.
