RFE: support "--" flag in su to circumvent additional shell

[vcaputo]

There's a convention in the GNU userspace for a bare '--' arg to indicate "everything in argv following the -- is not to be interpreted as a flag, just use as input to the program"

In the case of su, when you want su to run a command, you currently must use "-c/--command WORD_REPRESENTING_COMMAND", which will then be interpolated by another shell's -c invocation running as the target user.

This can be rather annoying and error prone, depending on the complexity of whatever is being executed via su.

I'd like to propose supporting "--" as an alternative to -c/--command which instead treats whatever remains in argv as the argv to supply directly to execve(), bypassing any further shell invocation or subsequent word splitting.

I'm all for this. Will try to do it if I find some spare time.

After glancing at the code and actually reading the man page I see there's already existing semantics for '--' to pass subsequent argv entries on as flags.

So it looks like this should instead add a new flag to suppress using any interpretive shell when running the command, and suppress argv manipulation like adding the '-c' shell command flag.

How about supporting "--exec-command" / "-e" to suppress any "$shell -c", directly calling execve() on the command, with any arguments after '--' supplied as the rest of argv?

I took a stab at implementing this #254
