Complete revamp of the pathexec functions
- pathexec_run is now called exec_ae a for provided file name (default: argv[0]) e for provided envp (default: environ) - pathexec is now called mexec. m for merge environment. Option letters are: a for provided file name (default: argv[0]) e for provided envp (default: environ) f for provided envp *and* length of the envp m for provided modif string plus its length (the length is always needed because the modifs are null-terminated) n for provided modif string, length *and* number of modifs - functions have a foo0 version for _exit(0) when argv[0] is null - functions have a xfoo version to die if the exec fails - and a xfoo0 - Compatibility #defines and #includes are there until the next major bump
