spack load exits with 1 if module does not exist or is not installed

fixes #2215
fixes #2570
fixes #6676
fixes #7281
closes #3827

This PR reverts the use of `spack module loads` in favor of
`spack module find` when loading module files via Spack. After this PR
`spack load` will accept a single spec at a time, and will be able
to interpret correctly the `--dependencies` option.
