rGa0dfb0668b45: env: Improve documentation.
Summary
  • The env utility's inability to run a command whose name contains an equal sign is a feature, not a bug, so move that paragraph up from the BUGS section to the DESCRIPTION section.
  • Mention that this can be worked around by prefixing the command name with command, and add an example of this to the EXAMPLE section.
  • Add a test case which verifies that env does not run a command with an equal sign in its name even if it exists, and also demonstrates the workaround.
