setenv(3) by tracking the size of the memory allocated instead of using
strlen() on the current value.
Convert all calls to POSIX from historic BSD API:
- unsetenv returns an int.
- putenv takes a char * instead of const char *.
- putenv no longer makes a copy of the input string.
- errno is set appropriately for POSIX. Exceptions involve bad environ
variable and internal initialization code. These both set errno to
EFAULT.
Several patches to base utilities to handle the POSIX changes from
Andrey Chernov's previous commit. A few I re-wrote to use setenv()
instead of putenv().
New regression module for tools/regression/environ to test these
functions. It also can be used to test the performance.
Bump __FreeBSD_version to 700050 due to API change.

Not because I admit they are technically wrong and not because of bug
reports (I receive nothing). But because I surprisingly meets so
strong opposition and resistance so lost any desire to continue that.
Anyone who interested in POSIX can dig out what changes and how
through cvs diffs.
"The setenv( ) function shall fail if:
[EINVAL] The name argument is a null pointer, points to an empty string,
or points to a string containing an '=' character."
The fix (like all others in this subject) is backward-compatible.
start with a '/', they are more supported (by POSIX and SUSv3) than
filenames which have an '=' in them.

apart a string, and supports some text substitutions. This can be
used to provide all the flexibility (and more!) that was lost by recent
changes to how the kernel parses #!-lines in shell scripts.
The '-P' option provides a way to specify an alternate set of directories
to use when searching for the 'utility' program to run. This way you can
be sure what directories are used for that search, without changing the
value of PATH that the user has set. Note that on FreeBSD 6.0, this
option is worthless unless the '-S' option is also used.

without checking it for an equals-sign. If it starts with a slash, then
it cannot be a request to set the value of a valid environment variable.

it does not happen until all single-letter options are processed. This will
be important for the -S option, which will be coming soon.

Add some constness to avoid some warnings.
Remove use register keyword.
Deal with missing/unneeded extern/prototypes.
Some minor type changes/casts to avoid warnings.

"command" in both places to emphasise that shell builtins etc. will not work,
and to be consistent with the terminology used by POSIX.
