Update extern linking documentation
In particular, remove the note saying cdylibs can't link against dylibs — that hasn't been true for over four years. * 2019-11-07: note is written: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/commit/b54e8ecc2e0eec9ab9d0b1c1d9cb55f7602800c4 * 2020-01-23: restriction is lifted (without updating docs): https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/commit/72aaa3a414d17aa0c4f19feafa5bab5f84b60e63

By default, `rustc` prefers to statically link dependencies. This option will indicate that dynamic linking should be used if possible if both a static and -dynamic versions of a library are available. There is an internal algorithm -for determining whether or not it is possible to statically or dynamically -link with a dependency. For example, `cdylib` crate types may only use static -linkage.
