Log:
  login(1): when exporting variables check the result of setenv(3)
  
  When exporting a variable we correctly check all the preconditions that
  could make setenv(3) fail. Checking the setenv(3) return value seems
  redundant, but given that login(1) is critical, it doesn't hurt to have
  a post-check.
  
  This change is based on the "Principles of Secure Coding" course by
  Matthew Bishop, PhD., which specifically discusses this code in FreeBSD.
  
  (This change redoes r368776 due to a silly mistake)
