docs: make "runtime" a word only as a name for the package.
Computer people have an agglutinating streak that I like to resist. As a time of execution: run time. As an adjective: run-time. As a noun: run-time support/code/library. Signed, Mr. Pedant. R=golang-dev, rsc CC=golang-dev https://golang.org/cl/4252048
