Subject: Clarify --enable-ecap failure on missing shared library support (#1968)

Clarify --enable-ecap failure on missing shared library support (#1968)

    checking if libtool supports shared libraries... no
    checking whether to build shared libraries... no
    configure: error: eCAP support requires loadable modules.
        Please do not use --disable-shared with --enable-ecap.

After 2022 commit 5a2409b7, our advice for handling the above error
became misleading in environments that do not --disable-shared
explicitly but lack shared libraries support for other reasons
