Dan Winship 409d93148f 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.
