LoadDocumentCallback isn't passed into the algorithms that use it #580

https://www.w3.org/TR/json-ld-api/#algorithm uses a LoadDocumentCallback in two places, but its interface doesn't say any such callback should be passed in.

The document loader is provided as an API option, and the API options are considered to be generally accessible to the algorithms. This is described in terms of the LoadDocumentCallback which is considered a global for the algorithms, but it either uses a default implementation, or that specified from the documentLoader API option.

So if another specification, like https://www.w3.org/TR/vc-data-integrity/#verify-proof, wants to parse JSON-LD, should it go through the API rather than the algorithms?
