modprobe: Allow passing path to module

This is useful to kernel module developers for testing a just compiled
module: instead of using insmod, they can load the module from the path
while getting all the benefits of modprobe (e.g. module dependency
resolution).

v2:
  - Add test for relative path as well. (Lucas)
  - Add note warning about modules with dependencies not matching the
    installed depmod database. (Lucas)
