Keep argv[0], add COSMOPOLITAN_PROGRAM_EXECUTABLE (#980)
* Introduce env.com

Handy tool for debugging environment issues.

* Inject path as COSMOPOLITAN_PROGRAM_EXECUTABLE

`argv[0]` was previously being used as a communication channel between
the loader and the binary, giving the binary its full path for use e.g.
in `GetProgramExecutableName`. But `argv[0]` is not a good channel for
this; much of what made 2a3813c6 so gross is due to that.

This change fixes the issue by preserving `argv[0]` and establishing a
new communication channel: `COSMOPOLITAN_PROGRAM_EXECUTABLE`.

The M1 loader will always set this as the first variable. Linux should
soon follow. On the other side, `GetProgramExecutableName` checks that
variable first. If it sees it, it trusts it as-is.

A lot of the churn in `ape/ape-m1.c` in this change is actually backing
out hacks introduced in 2a3813c6; the best comparison is:

    git diff 2a3813c6^..
