fix #17997, don't load packages in Main

NEWS.md

@@ -205,6 +205,10 @@ This section lists changes that do not have deprecation warnings.
   * The `openspecfun` library is no longer built and shipped with Julia, as it is no longer
     used internally ([#22390]).
 
+  * All loaded packges used to have bindings in `Main` (e.g. `Main.Package`). This is no
+    longer the case; now bindings will only exist for packages brought into scope by
+    typing `using Package` or `import Package` ([#17997]).
