Terminated AppCache._populate() with extreme prejudice.

It was called _populate() before I renamed it to populate(). Since it
has been superseded by populate_models() there's no reason to keep it.

Removed the can_postpone argument of load_app() as it was only used by
populate(). It's a private API and there's no replacement. Simplified
load_app() accordingly. Then new version behaves exactly like the old
one even though it's much shorter.
