Remove the paragraph about writing to the Free Software Foundation's
mailing address. The FSF has changed addresses in the past, and may do
so again. In 2021 this is not useful, let's rather have a bit less

The pointer *pw is only populated when the the parameter *user is given,

If (!env_whitelist && addl_env), osmo_environment_append() would
access uninitialized memory. If both are false, execle() would
also deal with garbage values. Let's ensure that at least the
first element of new_env[] is initialized.

In some situations, we want to execute an external shell command
in a non-blocking way. Similar to 'system', but without waiting for
the child to complete. We also want to close all file descriptors
ahead of the exec() and filter + modify the environment.
