Correct a bitrotted comment about installworld order requirements.

The case of make(1) using a new /bin/sh issue was fixed in r173219 when ITOOLS
was introduced.

There are still issues with mid-install errors leaving a system unusable that
are currently non-trivial to solve.  The safest ordering requires installing
rtld, libc and libthr (in that order) before anything else.  We don't do that
now though.  Much improvement is needed here still.

Discussed with:	kip and kan (rtld/library ordering)
MFC after:	1 week
Sponsored by:	EMC / Isilon Storage Division
