Add helpers for getting env vars in a setuid environment

Care must be taken accessing env variables when running
setuid. Introduce a virGetEnvAllowSUID for env vars which
are safe to use in a setuid environment, and another
virGetEnvBlockSUID for vars which are not safe. Also add
a virIsSUID helper method for any other non-env var code
to use.
