  1. doc/stdenv: improve autoPatchelfHook description 

    * Add id
* Mention rpath

This is a special setup hook which helps in packaging proprietary software in that it automatically tries to find missing shared library dependencies of ELF files based on the given <varname>buildInputs</varname> and <varname>nativeBuildInputs</varname>.

You can also specify a <envar>runtimeDependencies</envar> environment variable which lists dependencies that are unconditionally added to all executables.

This is useful for programs that use <citerefentry>
<refentrytitle>dlopen</refentrytitle>
<manvolnum>3</manvolnum> </citerefentry> to load libraries at runtime.

In certain situations you may want to run the main command (<command>autoPatchelf</command>) of the setup hook on a file or a set of directories instead of unconditionally patching all outputs. This can be done by setting the <envar>dontAutoPatchelf</envar> environment variable to a non-empty value.

The <command>autoPatchelf</command> command also recognizes a <parameter class="command">--no-recurse</parameter> command line flag, which prevents it from recursing into subdirectories.
