e_sys - address security concerns with environment and gdb

1. clear out environment as best is possible before executing
anything. especially PATH and IFS are set to minimal base defaults.
also use clearenv() if available and unsetenv()

2. remove gdb method as it's just too dangerous. run it as normal as
the user and if the kernel / distro dny that - then sorry. too bad.
