[PATCH 05/18] libbb: Add find_path function

[Sascha Hauer <s.hauer@pengutronix.de>]

libbb contains a find_execable() function to find an executable in a
colon separated path. The code can be reused by making the environment
variable name and the is-executable test parameters. Do this and add
a find_path()
