Subject: [PATCH] unix: make OpenBSD uv_exepath work

some users of libuv rely on uv_exepath to be an actual path to a
program. unfortunately, the OpenBSD KERN_PROC_ARGV sysctl just returns
what is in argv[0], so if the program was executed by being looked up in
$PATH, uv_exepath would only return the basename and not an actual path.

to fix, this use the same approach as IBM i, OS/390 and AIX by searching
with uv__search_path. this is also the same approach the Zig language
has taken for the similar selfExePath function for OpenBSD.

the tests expect that uv_exepath still works after uv_set_process_title,
which on BSD is a call to setproctitle. the place setproctitle stores to
is the same place that KERN_PROC_ARGV reads from, so we need to stash
the original argv[0] in uv_setup_args to recover it later in uv_exepath.
