This would provide the equivalent of "clear all" in an acceptable way. Currently magic is required to create and "get inside" the Main module, so we need some kind of interface for this.

i'm not sure how hard this will be, but it seems good to have for release 0.1, if it isn't too difficult

@JeffBezanson
add an internal function to replace Main, use it in sysimg.jl
cabdd23 
make the Core.Main binding non-constant, so uses of "Main" in general
refer to the *current* Main. Doing "import Main" will give you a
constant reference to the Main at that time.

fixes #5802

add clear() function that replaces Main

a link to the previous Main called LastMain is provided.
`using LastMain.Package` works to restore access to loaded libraries.

fixes #1195, fixes #2385
