setenv, unsetenv: work around various bugs
POSIX requires setenv(NULL,"",0), setenv("a=b","",0),
unsetenv(NULL), and unsetenv("a=b") to fail with EINVAL, but
many BSD implementations lack validation. The gnulib
replacement for void unsetenv did not do validation, and the
replacement for setenv was out of sync with glibc. Also, some
BSD implementations of setenv("a","==",1) eat the leading '='.
