Start on environment variables, and make pointers nicer.
This starts work on the PAM environment handling, and in so doing,
introduces the CHeapBox and CHeapString structs. These are analogous
to Box and CString, but they're located on the C heap rather than
being Rust-managed memory.
This is because environment variables deal with even more pointers
and it turns out we can lose a lot of manual freeing using homemade
smart pointers.
