In #22217 it was observed that the order modules are compiled in affects
the contents of an interface file. This was because a module dependended
on another module indirectly, via a re-export but the interface file for
this module was never loaded because the symbol was never used in the
file.

If we decide that we depend on a module then we jolly well ought to
record this fact in the interface file! Otherwise it could lead to very
subtle recompilation bugs if the dependency is not tracked and the
module is updated.

Therefore the best thing to do is just to make sure the file is loaded
by calling the `loadSysInterface` function.  This first checks the
caches (like we did before) but then actually goes to find the interface
on disk if it wasn't loaded.

Fixes #22217
