Ld/doc: correct misrepresented wording

Fixes a typo in the ld.texi documentation file, changing "subseque nt" to "subsequent".

This commit corrects a typographical error in the ld.texi documentation file. The phrase “subseque nt” has been corrected to “subsequent”. This improves the accuracy and readability of the documentation.

In Details

This commit fixes a typo in the linker documentation file ld/ld.texi. The change involves correcting the word "subseque nt" to "subsequent". This is a minor documentation fix that does not affect the functionality of the linker. It primarily benefits users who read the documentation.

For Context

The GNU Linker (ld) combines object files into an executable. Its behavior is documented in a manual, part of which is written in the Texinfo format (ld.texi). This commit fixes a simple spelling mistake in the manual, improving its readability and clarity. This doesn't change how the linker works, but makes the documentation more accurate.
