[Bug libc/4017] New: environment cleaning of unsecvars by setuid/gid programs not documented

["jrodman at sources-bugzilla dot spamportal dot net" <sourceware-bugzilla at sourceware dot org>]

The gnu libc documentation makes no mention of ld.so pruning the environment of
variables such as TMPDIR when running setuid/setgid programs.  This makes can
make determining the cause of some missing environment values much more
confusing in some cases.
