ld.so.8: Remove discussion of environment variables understood by libc5
libc5 disappeared long ago, so cease cluttering up this page with those ancient details. Thus, remove discussion of the following environment variables: LD_AOUT_LIBRARY_PATH, LD_AOUT_PRELOAD, LD_KEEPDIR, LD_NOWARN, and LDD_ARGV0. Signed-off-by: Michael Kerrisk <mtk.manpages@gmail.com>
