runtime: copy env strings on startup

Some versions of libc, in this case Android's bionic, point environ
directly at the envp memory.

https://android.googlesource.com/platform/bionic/+/master/libc/bionic/libc_init_common.cpp#104

The Go runtime does something surprisingly similar, building the
runtime's envs []string using gostringnocopy. Both libc and the Go
runtime reusing memory interacts badly. When syscall.Setenv uses cgo
to call setenv(3), C modifies the underlying memory of a Go string.

This manifests on android/arm. With GOROOT=/data/local/tmp, a
runtime test calls syscall.Setenv("/os"), resulting in
runtime.GOROOT()=="/os\x00a/local/tmp/goroot".

Avoid this by copying environment string memory into Go.

Covered by runtime.TestFixedGOROOT on android/arm.
