[libc][stdlib] Implement setenv() with environment management infrastructure

Implement setenv() for LLVM libc, enabling modification of process
environment variables in compliance with POSIX specifications.

Implementation Overview:
- Shared infrastructure in environ_internal.{h,cpp} providing thread-safe
  environment array management with copy-on-write semantics
- Memory ownership tracking to distinguish library-allocated strings
  from external strings (startup environ)
- Thread-safe operations using environ_mutex for all modifications
- Dynamic array growth with configurable initial capacity

Key Design Decisions:
- Linear array approach (O(n) lookups) suitable for typical environment
  sizes (30-80 variables) with minimal memory overhead
- Copy-on-write: starts with startup environment, allocates on first
  modification to avoid unnecessary copying
- Memory ownership model prevents double-free bugs: tracks which strings
  can be safely freed (setenv allocations)

Function Implementation:
- setenv(name, value, overwrite): Allocates "name=value" string, respects
  overwrite flag, validates inputs per POSIX (rejects NULL, empty names,
  names with '='). Returns 0 on success, -1 with errno on error.

Testing:
- Comprehensive integration test suite covering basic functionality,
  POSIX compliance, error conditions, and edge cases
- 12 test cases passing
