dlsym.3: Extend discussion of NULL symbol values

Avoid implying that use of IFUNC is the only way to produce a
symbol with NULL value. Give more scenarios how a symbol may get
NULL value, but explain that in those scenarios dlsym() will fail
with Glibc's ld.so due to an implementation inconsistency.
