Denis V. Lunev 69a43064dc util/envlist: fix prefix-match in envlist_unsetenv() name lookup
envlist_unsetenv() looked up the entry to remove with
strncmp(entry->ev_var, env, strlen(env)). The comparison length is
the requested name's length, so any stored entry whose name *starts*
with that name compares equal. envlist_setenv() inserts at the head
of the list, so the first hit wins: with FOO=... stored first and
FOOBAR=... stored afterward, envlist_unsetenv("FOO") iterates from
the head, matches FOOBAR=... on the prefix, and drops it instead of
FOO=...

linux-user and bsd-user reach this code via the -U command-line
switch, so the bug is reachable from a normal qemu-user invocation.

envlist_setenv() used the same strncmp pattern but with
envname_len = (eq_sign - env + 1), so the '=' byte sat inside the
compared window and acted as an implicit boundary. setenv was
therefore not buggy -- but the safety lived in the byte layout of
ev_var rather than in the entry, so a future edit could easily
drift the two sites apart again.

Store the name length on each entry at insertion time and compare
with explicit length equality plus memcmp via a small helper. Use
the helper at both lookup sites so the boundary becomes a
structural property of the entry: envlist_unsetenv() stops
prefix-matching, and envlist_setenv()'s self-search no longer
depends on the '=' byte serving as a sentinel.
