Reintroduce directory modules #4116
Description
As part of #2176 I removed directory modules from the language. As a result, crates make heavy use of #[path] to create directory structure.
We probably do want to have some directory convention that rustc understands.
Here's one idea: the mod foo; statement continues to be the only way to load external modules. The parser looks for foo.rs and foo/mod.rs. If either exists then it loads it, otherwise error.
This assumes that we like the mod.rs convention. I haven't decided yet.

I believe we agreed in a meeting to stick with the
mod.rsconvention(which is also compatible with graydon's proposed rustpkg conventions)

I would like to nominate this for a milestone. It is important for usability.
Let's also remove all the redundant uses of
