chroot: reword how chroot works

Browse Source 
Technically chroot command "tells" bash nothing.  It basically calls
chroot("$LFS"), then chdir("/"), then
execve(["/usr/bin/env", "-i", ...]).  The kernel also does not tell bash
something like "hey, the root is now $LFS" but just executes (almost) all
system calls from bash as-if $LFS is /.

The man page of chroot says:

DESCRIPTION
       Run COMMAND with root directory set to NEWROOT.

Just use the same grammar construction here.
