fix(lua): remove vim.loader.disable() #31344

Problem:
`vim.loader.disable` does not conform to `:help dev-name-common` and
`:help dev-patterns`.

Solution:
- Add `enable` parameter to `vim.loader.enable`
- Remove `vim.loader.disable`
- Note the change in `:help news-breaking-dev` (HEAD changes).
  - This is not a breaking change (except to "HEAD") because
    `vim.loader` is marked "experimental".
