Shared library wording updates
Update the wording of the proposed patch based on suggestions from
Raphael Hertzog and Steve Langasek. Remove the footnote discussing
shared libraries without versioning information, since they're not
Policy-compliant in other ways and are all weird special cases.
Rephrase the footnote about shared library file naming conventions.

Overhaul the documentation of shared library SONAMEs
Provide much more background information about shared library
versioning and how the different symlinks are used. Clearly
require the SONAME and corresponding binary package name to be
changed if the library ABI changes. Add more cautions to the
practice of bundling multiple shared libraries together in one
package. Clarify that the shared library section does not
apply to private libraries and loadable modules.
