Gnulib module: execvpe

Portability problems fixed by Gnulib:

  * This function is missing on many non-glibc platforms: glibc 2.10, macOS 11.1, FreeBSD 13.0, NetBSD 7.1, OpenBSD 3.8, Minix 3.1.8, AIX 5.1, HP-UX 11, IRIX 6.5, Solaris 11.3, Cygwin 1.5.x, mingw, Android 4.4.

  * This function is not declared on some platforms: AIX 7.1.

  * On Windows platforms (excluding Cygwin), this function does not pass command-line arguments correctly if they contain space, tab, backslash, or double-quote characters.

  * On Windows platforms (excluding Cygwin), this function spawns an asynchronous child process and then exits the current process immediately.  As a consequence, the parent of the current process 1. may incorrectly proceed as if its child had exited, and 2. will never see the child's exit status.

  * On Windows platforms (excluding Cygwin), the return type of this function is intptr_t, not int.
