Implement execvpe(3) and posix_spawn(3) and family. Based on

FreeBSD's implementation via Frank Denis, with various cleanups and
tweaks by me.

ok deraadt@, guenther@; discussions and tweaks from many others
jmc@ promises to help me further with the man pages in tree

+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Fn posix_spawn
+and
+.Fn posix_spawnp
+functions create a new process (child process) from the specified
+process image.
+The new process image is constructed from a regular executable
+file called the new process image file.
+.Pp
+When a C program is executed as the result of this call, it is
+entered as a C-language function call as follows:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+int main(int argc, char *argv[]);
+.Ed
+.Pp
+where
+.Fa argc
+is the argument count and
+.Fa argv
+is an array of character pointers to the arguments themselves.
+In addition, the variable:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+extern char **environ;
+.Ed
+.Pp
+points to an array of character pointers to
+the environment strings.
+.Pp
+The argument
+.Fa argv
+is an array of character pointers to null-terminated
+strings.
+The last member of this array is a null pointer and is not counted
+in
+.Fa argc .
+These strings constitute the argument list available to the new process
+image.
+The value in
+.Fa argv Ns [0]
+should point to
+a filename that is associated with the process image being started by
+the
+.Fn posix_spawn
+or
+.Fn posix_spawnp
+function.
+.Pp
+The argument
+.Fa envp
+is an array of character pointers to null-terminated strings.
+These strings constitute the environment for the new process image.
+The environment array is terminated by a null pointer.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fa path
+argument to
+.Fn posix_spawn
+is a pathname that identifies the new process image file to execute.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fa file
+parameter to
+.Fn posix_spawnp
+is used to construct a pathname that identifies the new process
+image file.
+If the file parameter contains a slash character, the file parameter
+is used as the pathname for the new process image file.
+Otherwise, the path prefix for this file is obtained by a search
+of the directories passed as the environment variable
+.Dq Ev PATH .
+If this variable is not specified,
+the default path is set according to the
+.Dv _PATH_DEFPATH
+definition in
+.In paths.h ,
+which is set to
+.Dq Ev /usr/bin:/bin .
+.Pp
+If
+.Fa file_actions
+is a null pointer, then file descriptors open in the
+calling process remain open in the child process, except for those
+whose close-on-exec flag
+.Dv FD_CLOEXEC
+is set (see
+.Fn fcntl ) .
+For those
+file descriptors that remain open, all attributes of the corresponding
+open file descriptions, including file locks (see
+.Fn fcntl ) ,
+remain unchanged.
+.Pp
+If
+.Fa file_actions
+is not NULL, then the file descriptors open in the child process are
+those open in the calling process as modified by the spawn file
+actions object pointed to by
+.Fa file_actions
+and the
+.Dv FD_CLOEXEC
+flag of each remaining open file descriptor after the spawn file actions
+have been processed.
+The effective order of processing the spawn file actions are:
+.Bl -enum
+.It
+The set of open file descriptors for the child process initially
+are the same set as is open for the calling process.
+All attributes of the corresponding open file descriptions, including
+file locks (see
+.Fn fcntl ) ,
+remain unchanged.
+.It
+The signal mask, signal default actions, and the effective user and
+group IDs for the child process are changed as specified in the
+attributes object referenced by
+.Fa attrp .
+.It
+The file actions specified by the spawn file actions object are 
+performed in the order in which they were added to the spawn file
+actions object.
+.It
+Any file descriptor that has its
+.Dv FD_CLOEXEC
+flag set (see
+.Fn fcntl )
+is closed.
+.El
+.Pp
+The
+.Vt posix_spawnattr_t
+spawn attributes object type is defined in
+.In spawn.h .
+It contains the attributes defined below.
+.Pp
+If the
+.Dv POSIX_SPAWN_SETPGROUP
+flag is set in the spawn-flags attribute of the object referenced by
+.Fa attrp ,
+and the spawn-pgroup attribute of the same object is non-zero, then the
+child's process group is as specified in the spawn-pgroup
+attribute of the object referenced by
+.Fa attrp .
+.Pp
+As a special case, if the
+.Dv POSIX_SPAWN_SETPGROUP
+flag is set in the spawn-flags attribute of the object referenced by
+.Fa attrp ,
+and the spawn-pgroup attribute of the same object is set to zero, then
+the child is in a new process group with a process group ID equal
+to its process ID.
+.Pp
+If the

+flag is not set in the spawn-flags attribute of the object referenced by

+.Pp
+The
+.Dv POSIX_SPAWN_RESETIDS
+flag in the spawn-flags attribute of the object referenced by
+.Fa attrp
+governs the effective user ID of the child process.
+If this flag is not set, the child process inherits the parent
+process' effective user ID.
+If this flag is set, the child process' effective user ID is reset
+to the parent's real user ID.
+In either case, if the set-user-ID mode bit of the new process image
+file is set, the effective user ID of the child process becomes
+that file's owner ID before the new process image begins execution.
+.Pp
+The
+.Dv POSIX_SPAWN_RESETIDS
+flag in the spawn-flags attribute of the object referenced by
+.Fa attrp
+also governs the effective group ID of the child process.

+If the
+.Dv POSIX_SPAWN_SETSIGMASK
+flag is set in the spawn-flags attribute of the object referenced by
+.Fa attrp ,

+If the
+.Dv POSIX_SPAWN_SETSIGDEF
+flag is set in the spawn-flags attribute of the object referenced by

+object is set to their default actions in the child process.
+Signals set to the default action in the parent process is set to
+the default action in the child process.
+.Pp
+Signals set to be caught by the calling process is set to the
+default action in the child process.
+.Pp
+Signals set to be ignored by the calling process image is set to
+be ignored by the child process, unless otherwise specified by the
+.Dv POSIX_SPAWN_SETSIGDEF
+flag being set in the spawn-flags attribute of the object referenced by
+.Fa attrp
+and the signals being indicated in the spawn-sigdefault attribute
+of the object referenced by
+.Fa attrp .
+.Pp
+If the value of the
+.Fa attrp
+pointer is NULL, then the default values are used.
+.Pp
+All process attributes, other than those influenced by the attributes
+set in the object referenced by
+.Fa attrp
+as specified above or by the file descriptor manipulations specified in
+.Fa file_actions ,
+appear in the new process image as though
+.Fn fork
+had been called to create a child process and then
+.Fn execve
+had been called by the child process to execute the new process image.
+.Sh RETURN VALUES
+Upon successful completion,
+.Fn posix_spawn
+and
+.Fn posix_spawnp
+return the process ID of the child process to the parent process,
+in the variable pointed to by a non-NULL
+.Fa pid
+argument, and return zero as the function return value.
+Otherwise, no child process is created, no value is stored into
+the variable pointed to by
+.Fa pid ,
+and an error number is returned as the function return value to
+indicate the error.
+If the
+.Fa pid
+argument is a null pointer, the process ID of the child is not returned
+to the caller.

+If
+.Fn posix_spawn
+and
+.Fn posix_spawnp
+fail for any of the reasons that would cause
+.Fn fork
+or one of the

+.Fn posix_spawn
+or
+.Fn posix_spawnp

+A spawn file actions object, when passed to

+.Fn posix_spawnp ,
+specify how the set of open file descriptors in the calling

+for the spawned process.
+This transformation is as if the specified sequence of actions was
+performed exactly once, in the context of the spawned process (prior to
+execution of the new process image), in the order in which the actions
+were added to the object; additionally, when the new process image is
+executed, any file descriptor (from this new set) which has its
+.Dv FD_CLOEXEC
+flag set is closed (see
+.Fn posix_spawn ) .

+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Fn posix_spawnattr_init
+function initializes a spawn attributes object
+.Fa attr
+with the default value for all of the individual attributes used by the
+implementation.
+Initializing an already initialized spawn attributes object may cause
+memory to be leaked.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn posix_spawnattr_destroy
+function destroys a spawn attributes object.
+A destroyed
+.Fa attr
+attributes object can be reinitialized using
+.Fn posix_spawnattr_init .
+The object should not be used after it has been destroyed.
+.Pp
+A spawn attributes object is of type
+.Vt posix_spawnattr_t
+(defined in
+.In spawn.h )
+and is used to specify the inheritance of process attributes across a
+spawn operation.
+.Pp
+The resulting spawn attributes object (possibly modified by setting
+individual attribute values), is used to modify the behavior of
+.Fn posix_spawn
+or
+.Fn posix_spawnp .
+After a spawn attributes object has been used to spawn a process by a
+call to a
+.Fn posix_spawn
+or
+.Fn posix_spawnp ,
+any function affecting the attributes object (including destruction)
+will not affect any process that has been spawned in this way.
+.Sh RETURN VALUES
+Upon successful completion,
+.Fn posix_spawnattr_init
+and
+.Fn posix_spawnattr_destroy
+return zero;
+otherwise, an error number is returned to indicate the error.
+.Sh ERRORS

+function will fail if:
+.Bl -tag -width Er
+.It Bq Er ENOMEM
