ldconfig: document changed default byte-order
Document that the hints file is created in little-endian byte-order
by default now. The -B option can be used to create a big-endian hints
file. Currently, both formats are accepted by the run-time linker on
all architectures.
MFC after: 3 days
Relnotes: yes
