Chandler Carruth ec8406d8f4 Fix several bugs in r221220's new program finding code.
In both the Unix and Windows variants, std::getenv was called and the
result passed directly to a function accepting a StringRef. This isn't
OK because it might return a null pointer and that causes the StringRef
constructor to assert (and generally produces crash-prone code if
asserts are disabled). Fix this by independently testing the result as
non-null prior to splitting things.

This in turn uncovered another bug in the Unix variant where it would
infinitely recurse if PATH="", or after this fix if PATH isn't set.
There is no need to recurse at all. Slightly re-arrange the code to make
it clear that we can just fixup the Paths argument based on the
environment if we find anything.

I don't know of a particularly useful way to test these routines in
LLVM. I'll commit a test to Clang that ensures that its driver correctly
handles various settings of PATH. However, I have no idea how to
correctly write a Windows test for the PATHEXT change. Any Windows
developers who could provide such a test, please have at. =D

Many thanks to Nick Lewycky and others for helping debug this. =/ It was
quite nasty for us to track down.

llvm/lib/Support/Unix README
===========================

This directory provides implementations of the lib/System classes that
are common to two or more variants of UNIX. For example, the directory
structure underneath this directory could look like this:

Unix           - only code that is truly generic to all UNIX platforms
  Posix        - code that is specific to Posix variants of UNIX
  SUS          - code that is specific to the Single Unix Specification
  SysV         - code that is specific to System V variants of UNIX

As a rule, only those directories actually needing to be created should be
created. Also, further subdirectories could be created to reflect versions of
the various standards. For example, under SUS there could be v1, v2, and v3
subdirectories to reflect the three major versions of SUS.
