repeated calls to getpwuid() can over-write the original struct passwd
strucuture. This can lead to the original user's environment data
being overwritten by the target user's, even when "keepenv" is
specified in the doas.conf file.
We now do a deep copy of the original and target users' struct passwd
information to avoid over-writting the original on platforms where libc
uses a static area for all calls.

Provided cleaner fix for crash when user/command has
no valid match in the doas.conf file.

Removed option to match UID with -u flag. Provided
usernames must now match a username, not UID. This was
ambigious if a user had a numeric username.

and PATH from the original user to the target user. This could cause
files in the wrogn path or home directory to be read (or written to),
which resulted in potential security problems.
This has been changed so that only DISPLAY and TERM are passed to the
new environment. This is fine for running command line programs. When
GUI programs need to be run, "keepenv" can be added to the user's
doas.conf entry. This results in variables like HOME being copied
to the target user, allowing GUI programs to run.
Many thanks to Sander Bos for reporting this issue and explaining
how it can be exploited.
This commit also adds the ability to pass a customized PATH to
target users. The new PATH can be set at compile time in the
Makefile. The default path is provided in the Makefile and commented
out.
commands matching the "cmd" parameter in doas.conf. The path
should be shortened to system-standard paths. This prevents
the user from injecting their own application with a familiar
name in their PATH variable and tricking doas into running it.
