gutils: Add functions for working with environment arrays
When spawning a child process, it is not safe to call setenv() before the fork() (because setenv() isn't thread-safe), but it's also not safe to call it after the fork() (because it's not async-signal-safe). So the only safe way to alter the environment for a child process from a threaded program is to pass a fully-formed envp array to exec*/g_spawn*/etc. So, add g_environ_getenv(), g_environ_setenv(), and g_environ_unsetenv(), which act like their namesakes, but work on arbitrary arrays rather than working directly on the environment. http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=659326
