ld.so.8: Expand DT_RUNPATH details. 

ld.so.8: Expand DT_RUNPATH details.

Every 3 years we get asked why DT_RUNPATH doesn't work like DT_RPATH.
The most recent question was here:
https://www.sourceware.org/ml/libc-help/2017-06/msg00013.html

We need to expand the description of DT_RUNPATH to cover this situation
and explain that the DT_RUNPATH entries apply only to the immediate
DT_NEEDED, not that of another, say dlopen'd child object.

Applies to master.

of the binary if present. Such directories are only searched to
find those objects required by DT_NEEDED (direct dependencies) entries
and do not apply to those object's children who must themselves have
their own DT_RUNPATH entries. This is unlike DT_RPATH which is applied
to searches for all children in the dependency tree.
