Subject: [PATCH] rc: Honor ${name}_env when a custom *_cmd is defined (e.g.,
 start_cmd)

A user may set ${name}_env variable in rc.conf(5) in order to set additional
environment variables for a service command.  Unfortunately, at the moment
this variable is only honored when the command is specified via the command
variable. Those additional environment variables coming from ${name}_env
are never set if the service is started via the ${rc_arg}_cmd variable (for
example start_cmd).
