Subject: [PATCH] Improve locating ld-musl-[arch].path file

musl locates the config file with search paths relative to the
interpreter/loader by taking the path up to the second to last /, that
is, it tries to drop the filename and dir. This logic is flawed when the
interpreter contains multiple /'s between dir and filename. This commit
fixes that.

Example:

```
$ ./configure "--prefix=$PWD/build" "--syslibdir=$PWD/build/loader/lib"
$ make install -j
$ mkdir -p build/loader/etc example
$ echo "$PWD/example" > "./build/loader/etc/ld-musl-$(arch).path"
$ echo 'int f() {return 0;}' | ./build/bin/musl-gcc -shared -x c - -Wl,-soname,libf.so -o example/libf.so
$ echo 'int f(); int main(){return f();}' | ./build/bin/musl-gcc -x c - -Lexample -lf -o example/a.out
$ ./example/a.out && echo "works"
works
$ patchelf --set-interpreter "$PWD/build/loader/lib//ld-musl-$(arch).so.1" example/a.out
$ ./example/a.out || echo "does not work"
Error loading shared library libf.so: No such file or directory (needed by ./example/a.out)
Error relocating ./example/a.out: f: symbol not found
does not work
```
