Changes from previous version:

 - Fix memcpy write out the bound in maybe_script_execute.

--

This patch fixes an invalid write out or stack allocated buffer in
2 places at execvpe implementation:

  1. On 'maybe_script_execute' function where it allocates the new
     argument list and it does not account that a minimum of argc
     plus 3 elements (default shell path, script name, arguments,
     and ending null pointer) should be considered.  The straightforward
     fix is just to take account of the correct list size.

  2. On '__execvpe' where the executable file name lenght may not
     account for ending '\0' and thus subsequent path creation may
     write past array bounds because it requires to add the terminating
     null.  The fix is to change how to calculate the executable name
     size to add the final '\0' and adjust the rest of the code
     accordingly.

As described in GCC bug report 78433 [1], these issues were masked off by
GCC because it allocated several bytes more than necessary so that many
off-by-one bugs went unnoticed.

Checked on x86_64 with a latest GCC (7.0.0 20161121) with -O3 on CFLAGS.

	[BZ #20847]
	* posix/execvpe.c (maybe_script_execute): Remove write past allocated
	array bounds.
	(__execvpe): Likewise.

The array is now always one element too big, unless execvpe was called
with argv[0] == NULL.

Spaces around operator and remove redundant parens.
