- Change the type used for arithmetic expansion to intmax_t (ie. 64 bit on all
currently supported FreeBSD architectures). SUSv3 requires at least type
long but allows for larger types. Other shells (eg. bash, zsh, NetBSD's sh)
do that too.

PWD, OLDPWD and the path used for the pwd builtin according to the new
directory. For a logical directory change, chdir() is now called between
those two functions, no longer causing wrong values to be stored in PWD etc. if
it fails.

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.

Anyone who interested in POSIX can dig out what changes and how

1) Under POSIX unsetenv("foo=bar") is explicit error and not equal
to unsetenv("foo")
2) Prepare for upcomig POSIXed putenv() rewrite: make putenv() calls

issue a syntax error immediately but save the information that it is erroneous
for later when the parameter expansion is actually done. This means eg. "false
&& ${}" will not generate an error which seems to be required by POSIX.
Include the invalid parameter expansion in the error message (sometimes
abbreviated with ... because recovering it would require a lot of code).

- A redirection error is only fatal (meaning the execution of a shell script is
terminated) for special built-ins. Previously it was fatal for all shell
builtins, causing problems like the one reported in PR 88845.
- Variable assignments remain in effect for special built-ins.
- Option or operand errors are only fatal for special built-ins.
This change also makes errors from 'fc' non-fatal (I could not find any reasons
for this behaviour).
Somewhat independently from the above down-grade the error handling in the
shift built-in if the operand is bigger than $# from an error() call (which is
now fatal) to a return 1. I'm not sure if this should be considered a POSIX
"operand error", however this change is needed for now as we trigger that error
while building libncurses. Comparing with other shells, zsh does the same as
our sh before this change (write a diagnostic, return 1), bash behaves as our
sh after this commit (no diagnostic, return 1) and ksh93 and NetBSD's sh treat
it as a fatal error.

feature in buildworld) additional arguments are not considered to be an
error, even though this shell does not do anything with the arguments at all.

This makes a difference for the trap builtin, where after "trap '' 0" we
printed "trap -- quit". This is wrong, because an empty action means to reset
the action to the default. A side effect of this commit is that empty
variables are now printed as "variable=''" instead of just "variable=".
