Motivation for this change

Previously, the setup hooks configuration variable only accepted packages and added lib subdirectory of those packages to rpath. That was insufficient for including shared libraries like lib/libv4l/v4l2convert.so so this patch allows for passing .so file paths whose parent directory will be added to rpath. The patch also makes the process more strict, failing when a package not containing lib or not a .so file is passed to avoid hard to debug failures like passing a wrong output.

Things done
  • Tested using sandboxing (nix.useSandbox on NixOS, or option sandbox in nix.conf on non-NixOS linux)
  • Built on platform(s)
    • NixOS
    • macOS
    • other Linux distributions
  • Tested via one or more NixOS test(s) if existing and applicable for the change (look inside nixos/tests)
  • Tested compilation of all pkgs that depend on this change using nix-shell -p nixpkgs-review --run "nixpkgs-review wip"
  • Tested execution of all binary files (usually in ./result/bin/)
  • Determined the impact on package closure size (by running nix path-info -S before and after)
  • Ensured that relevant documentation is up to date
  • Fits CONTRIBUTING.md.

I am not sure if we actually want this.

doc/stdenv: improve autoPatchelfHook description
53c5802 
* Add id
* Mention rpath
* The control variables do not really have to be env vars (though without structuredAttrs there is not a difference)
