[PATCH v4 4/6] env: allow to copy value from default environment into a buffer

[Quentin Schulz]

From: Quentin Schulz <quentin.schulz at theobroma-systems.com>

env_get_default suffers from a particular issue int that it can only
return a value truncated to gd->env_buf (32) characters. This may be
enough for most variables but it isn't for others, so let's allow users
to provide a preallocated buffer to copy the value into instead,
allowing for more control, though it'll still be truncated if the value
size is bigger than the preallocated buffer.
