tunables: Terminate if end of input is reached (CVE-2023-4911)

Browse Source 
The string parsing routine may end up writing beyond bounds of tunestr
if the input tunable string is malformed, of the form name=name=val.
This gets processed twice, first as name=name=val and next as name=val,
resulting in tunestr being name=name=val:name=val, thus overflowing
tunestr.

Terminate the parsing loop at the first instance itself so that tunestr
does not overflow.

This also fixes up tst-env-setuid-tunables to actually handle failures
correct and add new tests to validate the fix for this CVE.

CVE-2023-4911: If a tunable of the form NAME=NAME=VAL is passed in the
environment of a setuid program and NAME is valid, it may result in a
buffer overflow, which could be exploited to achieve escalated
privileges. This flaw was introduced in glibc 2.34.
