/*
* This getenv function is safe to call before the C runtime is initialized.
* On Windows, it utilizes GetEnvironmentVariable() and on unix it uses
* /proc/self/environ instead calling getenv(). It's intended to be used in
* routines that run before main(), when the state required for getenv() may
* not be set up yet. In particular, errno isn't set up until relatively late
* (after the pthreads library has a chance to make it threadsafe), and
* getenv() doesn't work until then.
* On some platforms, this call will utilize the same, static buffer for
* repeated GetenvBeforeMain() calls. Callers should not expect pointers from
* this routine to be long lived.
* Note that on unix, /proc only has the environment at the time the
* application was started, so this routine ignores setenv() calls/etc. Also
* note it only reads the first 16K of the environment.
*
* NOTE: this is version of GetenvBeforeMain that's usable from
* C. Implementation is in sysinfo.cc
