Sometimes it's useful to provide a default value during an environment
expansion, if the environment variable isn't already set.
For instance $XDG_DATA_DIRS is suppose to default to:
/usr/local/share/:/usr/share/
if it's not yet set. That means callers wishing to augment
XDG_DATA_DIRS need to manually add those two values.
This commit changes replace_env to support the following shell
compatible default value syntax:
XDG_DATA_DIRS=/foo:${XDG_DATA_DIRS:-/usr/local/share/:/usr/share}
Likewise, it's useful to provide an alternate value during an
environment expansion, if the environment variable isn't already set.
For instance, $LD_LIBRARY_PATH will inadvertently search the current
working directory if it starts or ends with a colon, so the following
is usually wrong:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/foo/lib:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}
To address that, this changes replace_env to support the following
shell compatible alternate value syntax:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/foo/lib${LD_LIBRARY_PATH:+:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}}
[zj: gate the new syntax under REPLACE_ENV_ALLOW_EXTENDED switch, so
existing callers are not modified.]

In the future we might want to allow additional syntax (for example
"unset VAR". But let's check that the data we're getting does not contain
anything unexpected.

(Only in environment.d files.)
We have only basic compatibility with shell syntax, but specifying variables
without using braces is probably more common, and I think a lot of people would
be surprised if this didn't work.

Add support for /etc/environment and document the changes to the user manager
to automatically import environment *.conf files from:
~/.config/environment.d/
/etc/environment.d/
/run/environment.d/
/usr/local/lib/environment.d/
/usr/lib/environment.d/
/etc/environment
