setenv: align with POSIX in handling of setenv(var, "")
setenv(var, "") to delete var is a barebox idiosyncrasy. Previous commit added unsetenv and changed all users of setenv(var, ""), so lets set the behavior of setenv to what's expected: set var to the empty string. Previously, "" was turned into NULL, which meant it wasn't possible to set variables to the empty string from the shell. This is now possible.
