setenv(var, "") to delete var is a barebox idiosyncrasy. Previous commit
added unsetenv and changed all users of setenv(var, ""), so lets set the
behavior of setenv to what's expected: set var to the empty string.
Previously, "" was turned into NULL, which meant it wasn't possible to
set variables to the empty string from the shell. This is now possible.
