Remove references to /run/udev/hwdb.d

This directory never seemed to exist. The wording is very similar to
that of the Rules Files section, so it is possible that the same text
was copied and pasted by mistake. The HWDB never looked for files in
/run.

Having a non-volatile index of volatile files would probably not be

<para>The hwdb files are read from the files located in the
system hwdb directory <filename>/usr/lib/udev/hwdb.d</filename>,
the volatile runtime directory <filename>/run/udev/hwdb.d</filename>,
the local administration directory <filename>/etc/udev/hwdb.d</filename>,
and any other directory in the <envar>UDEV_HWDB_PATH</envar> search path
variable. All hwdb files are collectively sorted and processed in
lexical order, regardless of the directories in which they live. However,
files with identical filenames replace each other. Files in
<filename>/etc</filename> have the highest priority, then files in
<filename>/run</filename>, <filename>/usr/lib</filename> and the ones in
<filename>/usr/lib</filename>, and the ones in
<envar>UDEV_HWDB_PATH</envar> comes last. Files with higher priority
take precedence over files with the same name and lower priority.
This order can be used to override a system-supplied hwdb file with a
