[Bug 1235480] [NEW] upstart-local-bridge clobbers $PATH with its events

[Steve Langasek]

Public bug reported:

The dbus bridge was recently fixed to not clobber $PATH in its events,
but it turns out the same bug affects the local bridge.

        var = NIH_MUST (nih_sprintf (NULL, "PATH=%s", socket_path));
        NIH_MUST (nih_str_array_addp (&env, NULL, NULL, var));

This should be fixed to be called e.g. SOCKET_PATH instead.  Or maybe
just dropped?  I'm not sure there's really a need to include this info
in the event.
