Damien Neil aba57b0772 [release-branch.go1.18] syscall, os/exec: reject environment variables containing NULs
Check for and reject environment variables containing NULs.

The conventions for passing environment variables to subprocesses
cause most or all systems to interpret a NUL as a separator. The
syscall package rejects environment variables containing a NUL
on most systems, but erroneously did not do so on Windows. This
causes an environment variable such as "FOO=a\x00BAR=b" to be
interpreted as "FOO=a", "BAR=b".

Check for and reject NULs in environment variables passed to
syscall.StartProcess on Windows.

Add a redundant check to os/exec as extra insurance.

Updates #56284
Fixes #56327
Fixes CVE-2022-41716
