Subject: [stm] [toplevel] Make loadpath a parameter of the document.

We allow to provide a Coq load path at document creation time. This is
natural as the document naming process is sensible to a particular
load path, thus clarifying this API point.

The changes are minimal, as #6663 did most of the work here. The only
point of interest is that we have split the initial load path into two
components:

- a ML-only load path that is used to locate "plugable" toplevels.
- the normal loadpath that includes `theories` and `user-contrib`,
  command line options, etc...

+### STM API
+
+The STM API has seen a general overhaul. The main change is the
+introduction of a "Coq document" type, which all operations now take
+as a parameter. This effectively functionalize the STM API and will
+allow in the future to handle several documents simultaneously.
+
+The main remarkable point is that key implicit global parameters such
+as load-paths and required modules are now arguments to the document
+creation function. This helps enforcing some key invariants.
