Document search order

Explain when and how LD_LIBRARY_PATH, DT_RUNPATH and DT_RPATH are used.

Input OK guenther

LD_DEBUG is ignored for set-user-ID and set-group-ID executables

from Miod

spelling/consistency fix; from nam nguyen

Remove prebind support: binding to symbol table indices is too fragile
for our development process.

ok kettenis@ deraadt@

Delete descriptions of env variables that we don't actually support.
They all sound like bad ideas anyway.

ok matthew@ deraadt@

Remove LD_NORANDOM feature. It serves no usable purpose. Determinism
in this one specific area is not going to help debugging, because so
many other parts are non-deterministic.
ok guenthre matthew jsing

no more link(5). either remove references entirely, or point folks
to elf(5) instead;

ok miod

Remove an OpenBSD-specific tweak regarding .Xr spacing
and make it compatible with bsd.lv mandoc and with groff-1.21.
This tweak was originally added for compatibility with groff-1.15,
which is no longer needed.

prebind - how to prelink a binary without throwing security out the window

Prelink fixes the address of libraries making 'return to libc' attacks trival,
prebind uses a different method to achieve most of the same gains, however
without adding any security conerns.

Still under development, now in-tree.
