[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] Add new user mode option -ignore-environment

[Stefan Weil]

An empty environment is sometimes useful in user mode.
The new option provides it for linux-user and bsd-user
(darwin-user still has no environment related options).

The patch also adds the documentation for other
environment related options.
