init(8) sets the "daemon" login class without specifying a pw
entry (so no substitutions are done on the variables). service(8)'s
use of env -L had the effect of specifying root's pw entry, with two
effects: getpwnam and getpwuid are being called, which may not be
entirely safe depending on what nsswitch is up to and what stage of
boot we are at, and substitutions would have been done.
Fix by teaching env(8) to allow -L -/classname to set the class
environment with no pw entry at all specified, and use it in
service(8).

It turns out that currently mandoc(1) is not handling Fl in Ss
correctly (maybe it never was). Let's just replace "Fl S \&Ss ..."
with "-S ...". After all, this subsection title is stylized anyway, so Fl
is not that helpful.

This allows one to set the environment of the specified user either from
login.conf alone (-L) or both login.conf and ~/.login_conf if present (-U).
This is a supporting feature to allow service(8) to pull in the environment
of the "daemon" class before invoking the rc script.
This is a part of D21481.

With the -0 option added to ENV(1), some ports will no longer require genv
from sysutils/coreutils.

Renumber cluase 4 to 3, per what everybody else did when BSD granted
them permission to remove clause 3. My insistance on keeping the same
numbering for legal reasons is too pedantic, so give up on that point.

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.
