patch to set correct argv[0] in invoked shell

su(1) does not set the correct argv[0]. It should set argv[0] corresponding=
 to
the
shell that will be invoked instead of always setting it to "su"/"-su"/"_su".

$ su
Password:
root@x202e:/tmp # echo $0
su
root@x202e:/tmp # ^D
$ su -l
Password:
root@x202e:~ # echo $0
-su
root@x202e:~ # ^D
$=20

The attached patch sets argv[0] to "shell"/"-shell" according to the invoked
shell.

--=20
