[Docs] Correct description of lldbinit behavior 

Jim pointed out that "every time somebody has touched the documentation
on startup files they have stated that we source the application one and
then the global one, even though in actual fact we’ve never done that."

Indeed, when we read the application specific .lldbinit file, the global
one is not read. This patch updates the man page to reflect that.

-------------------
:program:`lldb` reads things like settings, aliases and commands from the
.lldbinit file. First, it will read the application specific init file whose
name is ~/.lldbinit followed by a "-" and the name of the current program. This
would be ~/.lldbinit-lldb for the command line :program:`lldb` and
~/.lldbinit-Xcode for Xcode. Secondly, the global ~/.lldbinit will be read.
Finally, :program:`lldb` will look for an .lldbinit file in the current working
directory. For security reasons, :program:`lldb` will print a warning and not
source this file by default. This behavior can be changed by changing the
.lldbinit file.
