Ray Strode af92daebc5 man: fix LD_LIBRARY_PATH example in environment.d (#5929)
The example for LD_LIBRARY_PATH in the environment.d man page is wrong.

When setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH, the new directory usually needs to be at
the front so it overrides old directories.

In the example, the colon delimiter is correctly prepended to the front, but
the actual new path is erroneously appended to the end.

This commit moves it to the front where it belongs.

<title>Description</title>
<para>The <filename>environment.d</filename> directories contain a list of "global" environment
variable assignments for the user environment.

<title>Configuration Format</title>
<para>The configuration files contain a list of
<literal><replaceable>KEY</replaceable>=<replaceable>VALUE</replaceable></literal> environment
variable assignments, separated by newlines. The right hand side of these assignments may
reference previously defined environment variables, using the <literal>${OTHER_KEY}</literal>
and <literal>$OTHER_KEY</literal> format. It is also possible to use
<literal>${<replaceable>FOO</replaceable>:-<replaceable>DEFAULT_VALUE</replaceable>}</literal>
to expand in the same way as <literal>${<replaceable>FOO</replaceable>}</literal> unless the
expansion would be empty, in which case it expands to <replaceable>DEFAULT_VALUE</replaceable>,
and use
<literal>${<replaceable>FOO</replaceable>:+<replaceable>ALTERNATE_VALUE</replaceable>}</literal>
to expand to <replaceable>ALTERNATE_VALUE</replaceable> as long as
<literal>${<replaceable>FOO</replaceable>}</literal> would have expanded to a non-empty value.
No other elements of shell syntax are supported.</para>
<para>Each<replaceable>KEY</replaceable> must be a valid variable name. Empty lines
and lines beginning with the comment character <literal>#</literal> are ignored.</para>
