Subject: pkgs/profpatsch/execline: add el_exec and el_substitute

el_exec: wraps the various execve wrappers in skalib that are useful
for writing execline-like utils. currently only `xpathexec0` is
supported, which execs into the argv you give it or errors with the
right error if file not found.

el_substitute: execline argv substitution! Wraps the execline
function, so it will behave exactly the same as the existing execline
utils, like `importas`.
