[racket-dev] [plt] Push #27163: master branch updated

Well, I'm disappointed that the documentation did not get updated with
the addition of `#:at' and `#:named'.

With this change, does `raco exe' still work? I think `lazy-require'
expands in a way that would require the `racket/place/distributed'
module to be present when creating an executable that uses
`racket/place'.

Probably the right approach is to have a `#:node' argument effectively
carry `supervise-place-at' with it, so that `lazy-require' is not
needed.
