Add a new function support_capture_subprogram_self_sgid that spawns an
sgid child of the running program with its own image and returns the
exit code of the child process. This functionality is used by at
least three tests in the testsuite at the moment, so it makes sense to
consolidate.
There is also a new function support_subprogram_wait which should
provide simple system() like functionality that does not set up file
actions. This is useful in cases where only the return code of the
spawned subprocess is interesting.
This patch also ports tst-secure-getenv to this new function. A
subsequent patch will port other tests. This also brings an important
change to tst-secure-getenv behaviour. Now instead of succeeding, the
test fails as UNSUPPORTED if it is unable to spawn a setgid child,
which is how it should have been in the first place.

I used these shell commands:
../glibc/scripts/update-copyrights $PWD/../gnulib/build-aux/update-copyright
(cd ../glibc && git commit -am"[this commit message]")
and then ignored the output, which consisted lines saying "FOO: warning:
copyright statement not found" for each of 6694 files FOO.
I then removed trailing white space from benchtests/bench-pthread-locks.c
and iconvdata/tst-iconv-big5-hkscs-to-2ucs4.c, to work around this
diagnostic from Savannah:
remote: *** pre-commit check failed ...
remote: *** error: lines with trailing whitespace found
remote: error: hook declined to update refs/heads/master
Its API is similar to support_capture_subprocess, but rather creates a
new process based on the input path and arguments. Under the hoods it
uses posix_spawn to create the new process.
It also allows the use of other support_capture_* functions to check
for expected results and free the resources.
Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu.

xposix_spawn, xposix_spawn_file_actions_addclose, and
