Saying <build prefix> now implies BUILD_PREFIX, which isn't the case. AFAIK these have always been constructed based on PREFIX, which is the host environment. Guessing this is just leftover verbiage that needs a refresh.

Also make the same change for LD_RUN_PATH, which has the same issue.

Plus some other lines describing behavior in the prose.

This also uses `$PREFIX`. So correct it too.

Thanks, John! Line 135 should be changed to refer to "host" prefix.

FWIW we found the discrepancy between the docs and the code: conda-forge/cupy-feedstock#228 (comment).
