Makefile: clarify runtime relative gitexecdir
"git" built with RUNTIME_PREFIX flag turned on could figure out gitexecdir and other paths as relative to "git" executable. However, in the section specifies gitexecdir, RUNTIME_PREFIX wasn't mentioned, thus users may wrongly assume that "git" always locates gitexecdir as relative path to the executable. Let's clarify that only "git" built with RUNTIME_PREFIX will locate gitexecdir as relative path.
