rework systemd's own process environment handling/passing
Stop importing non-sensical kernel-exported variables. All
parameters in the kernel command line are exported to the
initial environment of PID1, but suppressed if they are
recognized by kernel built-in code. The EFI booted kernel
will add further kernel-internal things which do not belong
into userspace.
The passed original environ data of the process is not touched
and preserved across re-execution, to allow external reading of
/proc/self/environ for process properties like container*=.
