[PATCH] env: let setenv() take printf arguments

From: Sascha Hauer <s.hauer at pengutronix.de>

It's a common pattern to (ba)sprintf to a string and then call setenv()
with this string. Let setenv() take printf arguments to make that
easier. To avoid the overhead that goes with changing other callers
to using setenv(var, "%s", val) to avoid security implications (and
GCC warnings), fallback to the non-formatted version when there are
only two arguments.

[afa: fall back to non-formatted version on old two arg version]
