The result is the same but takes less code.
Note that __execvpe calls getenv which calls __strchrnul so even
using static output the size of the executable won't grow.

libc.h was intended to be a header for access to global libc state and
related interfaces, but ended up included all over the place because
it was the way to get the weak_alias macro. most of the inclusions
removed here are places where weak_alias was needed. a few were
recently introduced for hidden. some go all the way back to when
libc.h defined CANCELPT_BEGIN and _END, and all (wrongly implemented)
cancellation points had to include it.
remaining spurious users are mostly callers of the LOCK/UNLOCK macros
and files that use the LFS64 macro to define the awful *64 aliases.
in a few places, new inclusion of libc.h is added because several
internal headers no longer implicitly include libc.h.
declarations for __lockfile and __unlockfile are moved from libc.h to
stdio_impl.h so that the latter does not need libc.h. putting them in
libc.h made no sense at all, since the macros in stdio_impl.h are
needed to use them correctly anyway.

this is more extensible if we need to consider additional errors, and
more efficient as long as the compiler does not know it can cache the
result of __errno_location (a surprisingly complex issue detailed in
commit a603a75a72bb469c6be4963ed1b55fabe675fe15).

It's better to make execvp continue PATH search on ENOTDIR rather than
issuing an error. Bogus entries should not render rest of PATH invalid.
Maintainer's note: POSIX seems to require the search to continue like
this as part of XBD 8.3 Other Environment Variables. Only errors that
conclusively determine non-existence are candidates for continuing;
otherwise for consistency we have to report the error.

the specification for execvp itself is unclear as to whether
encountering a file that cannot be executed due to EACCES during the
PATH search is a mandatory error condition; however, XBD 8.3's
specification of the PATH environment variable clarifies that the
search continues until a file with "appropriate execution permissions"
is found.
since it seems undesirable/erroneous to report ENOENT rather than
EACCES when an early path element has a non-executable file and all
later path elements lack any file by the requested name, the new code
stores a flag indicating that EACCES was seen and sets errno back to
EACCES in this case.

patch by Jens Gustedt.
previously, the intended policy was to use __environ in code that must
conform to the ISO C namespace requirements, and environ elsewhere.
this policy was not followed in practice anyway, making things
confusing. on top of that, Jens reported that certain combinations of
link-time optimization options were breaking with the inconsistent
references; this seems to be a compiler or linker bug, but having it
go away is a nice side effect of the changes made here.
