Loads a module from a dynamic library at runtime.

This command loads and initializes the Redis module from the dynamic library
specified by the `path` argument. The `path` should be the absolute path of the
library, including the full filename. Any additional arguments are passed
unmodified to the module.

**Note**: modules can also be loaded at server startup with `loadmodule`
configuration directive in `redis.conf`.


As of Redis 8 in Redis Open Source, loading a module using the Redis CLI with configuration parameters is deprecated.
