Summary

Be more explicit that deleting old files and libraries needs to be
really after you're rebooted a third time and you're really actually
sure your applications aren't using old libs, following irc discussion.

Also adjust an example slightly to fit on 80 character console.

share/man/man7/build.7
1025–1026	I would be tempted to leave `make delete-old` here and only defer `make delete-old-libs` to the new paragraph. In practice I always run `make delete-old` right after `etcupdate -B`. It's only `make delete-old-libs` that I defer until after updating packages.
