This does a whole lot more than initialize `load-path`.
More importantly, this is a function which you should never need to
call (it's called automatically by other functions, as needed).

What you should generally call instead is `package-activate-all`.

If you find it necessary to call `package-initialize`, please report it
as a bug.
