ld.so.8: Correct documentation of $ORIGIN 

As noted by Siddhesh:

    The ld.so man page says:

        $ORIGIN (or equivalently ${ORIGIN})
            This expands to the directory containing the
            application executable.  Thus, an application located
            in somedir/app could be compiled with

    This is incorrect since it expands to the directory containing
    the DSO and not the application executable.  This seems like
    deliberate behaviour in dl-object.c, so it needs to be fixed in
    the man page.
