Fix cmd_run overwriting the environment

Some commands need the environment to function properly. One such
example is check_ssh and check_by_ssh when a SOCKS proxy is required.

This patch use setenv and extern char **environ to alter and pass the
new environment to the child process Those modules have been added to
Gnulib for portability.
