Add high-level load and save functions for JLD

These functions are similar to their macro counterparts, except that they operate on and return dictionaries instead of variables directly in the global namespace.

save takes a filename and a dictionary with bytestring keys. The dictionary key-value pairs are saved in the file, with the keys as the variable names and the values as their contents.

load takes a filename and (optionally) a list of variable names to read. If no variable names are given, all names in the file are read. It reads the variables into a dictionary that is returned.
Change the macro load to return the list of variables loaded

Previously, this macro would simply return the value of the last variable it read. This is more useful.
Append instead of overwrite in save; make the dict typing a little less restrictive
Revert saving in "r+" mode, use "w" instead

"r+" requires the file to already exist. Appending data to files is tricky and not terribly intuitive (what if data with the same names are already there?). I think "w" is better.
Further relax the Dict type in save()

Given that the typing of dict comprehensions is poor at the top-level, it is silly to make folks jump through hoops to make sure that they String keys really are strings.  The bytestring function will error just fine by itself, although perhaps it could use a nicer error message.
Add doc and a test for the save/load functions
Update save/load API, docs, & tests per discussion

Implement save/load such that the following is possible:

    vardict = load(filename)
    var1, var2 = load(filename, "var1", "var2")
    save(filename, vardict)
    save(filename, "var1", var1, "var2", var2)

as suggested by Tim Holy.

Reinstate global in at-sign load

I accidentally committed their removal in
5c7eb7d88e80085615c39d73b6e433032811ee0c. Removing the global
declarations here doesn't break anything and I think it's generally a
good idea, but it should be discussed before we do it.
