fs: introduce unsetenv() to prepare for changing setenv(var, "") behavior
Currently, we treat setenv(var, "") and setenv(var, NULL) the same and delete var, which is surprising and leads to subtle quirks: - setenv(var, "") is specified by POSIX to set var to an empty string, but barebox uses it to delete variables - nv.user= calls nv_set with NULL parameter, but nv user="" doesn't Make the API more POSIX-like by providing unsetenv with the expected semantics. Most user code can then use unsetenv without worrying about whether "" or NULL is the magic deletion value.
