[patch] Booting and the MULTIBOOT_CMDLINE

[Neal H Walfield]

When booting a sub Hurd, and unlike booting a Hurd via serverboot, the
environment variable MULTIBOOT_CMDLINE is not set.  This brings out a
latent bug in /libexec/runsystem.sh:  if MULTIBOOT_CMDLINE is unset, it
assumes that something is wrong and goes into single user mode.  As far
as I can tell, this is wrong;  runsystem should continue as if the
MULTIBOOT_CMDLINE was empty.  This patch corrects this.

        * runsystem.sh: Do not fail if MULTIBOOT_CMDLINE is unset.
