The information used by the "Last login:"-line is obtained by using
ulog_setutxfile(3) to switch to the lastlog database. Login and logout
are performed using the utility functions ulog_login(3) and
ulog_logout(3).
This also means we must build libulog during bootstrap.

Because several applications in /bin use libulog (or may use it in the
nearby future), it must not live inside /usr. It seems like we don't
need to add the copy from /usr/lib to ObsoleteFiles.inc, because it's
cleaned up during installation of libulog automatically.

instead of returning an error if a corrupt (not a "name=value" string) entry
in the environ array is detected when (re)-building the internal
environment. This should prevent applications or libraries from
experiencing issues arising from the expectation that these calls will
complete even with corrupt entries. The behavior is now as it was prior to
7.0.

The ulog_login_pseudo(3) and ulog_logout_pseudo(3) interfaces provide a
functionality identical to what libutempter has to offer. Just transform
libutempter's calls into the before mentioned functions.
libutempter doesn't work with utmpx, so instead of fixing I thought the
easiest way would be to integrate this functionality. libutempter is
used by applications like xterm and the KDE libraries, so if I ever
change the underlying file format, these applications will keep working
automatically.
Also increase __FreeBSD_version to indicate the addition (as well as the
import of libulog).
- Just like struct utmp, store strings inside struct utmpx itself. This
is needed to make things like pututxline() work.
- Add ut_id and ut_pid fields, even though they have little use in our
implementation.
- It turns out our "reboot" wtmp entries indicate a system boot, so
remove REBOOT_TIME
- Implement getutxline() and pututxline
- Add getutxuser() and setutxfile(), which allows us to crawl wtmp and
lastlog files as well.
- Add _ULOG_POSIX_NAMES, so we can already use the POSIX names if we
really want to.
The maximum length of a username has nothing to do with the size of the
username in the utmp files. Use MAXLOGNAME, which is defined as 17
(UT_USERSIZE + 1).
The entries in the argv array are not const themselves, but sometimes we
want to fill in const values. Just make the array const and use
__DECONST() to make it const for the execve()-call itself.
Also convert the only K&R prototype to ANSI.

One of the things I really want to do, is to get rid of the limitations
of our current utmp(5) mechanism:
- It only allows 8 byte TTY device names.
- The hostname only allows 16 bytes of storage.
I'm not a big fan of <utmpx.h>, but I think we should at least try to
add parts of it. Unfortunately we cannot implement <utmpx.h>, because we
miss various fields, such as ut_id, ut_pid, etc. The API provided by
libulog shares some similarities with <utmpx.h>, so it shouldn't be too
hard to port these applications eventually. In most simple cases, it
should just be a matter of removing the ulog_ prefix everywhere.
As a bonus, it also implements a function called ulog_login_pseudo(),
which allows unprivileged applications to write log entries, provided
they have a valid file descriptor to a pseudo-terminal master device.
libulog will allow a smoother transition to a new file format by adding
a library interface to deal with utmp/wtmp/lastlog files. I initially
thought about adding the functionality to libutil, but because I'm not
planning on keeping this library around forever, we'd better keep it
separated.
Next items on the todo list:
1. Port applications in the base system (and ports) to libulog, instead
of letting them use <utmp.h>.
2. Remove <utmp.h>, implement <utmpx.h> and reimplement this library on
top.
3. Port as many applications as possible back to <utmpx.h>.

**environ entries. This puts non-getenv(3) operations in line with
getenv(3) in that bad environ entries do not cause all operations to
fail. There is still some inconsistency in that getenv(3) in the
absence of any environment-modifying operation does not emit corrupt
environ entry warnings.
I also fixed another inconsistency in getenv(3) where updating the
global environ pointer would not be reflected in the return values.
It would have taken an intermediary setenv(3)/putenv(3)/unsetenv(3)
in order to see the change.

execvPe() is called by _execvpe(), which we added to implement
posix_spawnp(). We just took execvP() and added the envp argument.
Unfortunately we forgot to change the implementation to use envp over
environ.
This fixes the following piece of code:

| char * const env[2] = { "FOO=BAR", NULL };
| posix_spawnp(NULL, "/usr/bin/env", NULL, NULL, arg, env);
