this change was originally intended just to avoid repeated attempts to
open a nonexistant /etc/ls-musl-$(ARCH).path file, but I realized it
also prevents the default paths from being searched when such a path
file exists. despite the potential to break existing usage, I believe
the new behavior is the right behavior, and it's better to fix it
sooner rather than later. with the old behavior, it was impossible to
inhibit search of default paths which might contain musl-incompatible
libs (or even libs from a different cpu arch, on multi-arch machines).
