Point at readline fix on macOS
dlopen() without a qualified path searches env vars and paths stamped into the binary; Exim is usually setuid, so this becomes just the paths stamped into the binary. On some platforms (*cough* macOS) libreadline is not in the usual places. So show how to stamp the Homebrew location of libreadline into the Exim binary.

# Note that this option adds to the size of the Exim binary, because the
# dynamic loading library is not otherwise included.
+# If libreadline is not in the normal library paths, then because Exim is
+# setuid you'll need to ensure that the correct directory is stamped into
+# the binary so that dlopen will find it.
+# Eg, on macOS/Darwin with a third-party install of libreadline, perhaps:
