On OpenBSD's "stdio.h", stdin, stdout, and stderr are not directly
FILE*, but #defines. Thus, naming the output struct fields stdout and
stderr resulted in compiler errors, after replacing the #define.

This commit implements replacement functions for the previous
exec functions.
The replacements are implemented in a more "pure" style, the do no
longer receive pointer arguments which they will write to, but create
the pointers themselves and should therefore be easier to use,
since it is more obvious what goes in and what comes out.
Also a essentialy unused variable was removed with this.
When check_by_ssh runs into a timeout it simply exits keeping all child processes running.
Simply adopting the kill loop from runcmd_timeout_alarm_handler() fixes this.

This is an initial take at renaming the project to Monitoring Plugins.
It's not expected to be fully complete, and it is expected to break
things (The perl module for instance). More testing will be required
before this goes mainline.
Some commands need the environment to function properly. One such
example is check_ssh and check_by_ssh when a SOCKS proxy is required.
This patch use setenv and extern char **environ to alter and pass the
new environment to the child process Those modules have been added to
Gnulib for portability.
