Motivation for this change

Issue #14164 is about $LD_LIBRARY_PATH being set & inherited from processes spawned from awesome. This change reduces the number of environment variables that are set when starting awesome by instead using some awesome-specific command line arguments.

Things done
  • Tested using sandboxing (nix.useSandbox on NixOS, or option build-use-sandbox in nix.conf on non-NixOS)
  • Built on platform(s)
    • NixOS
    • macOS
    • other Linux distributions
  • Tested via one or more NixOS test(s) if existing and applicable for the change (look inside nixos/tests)
  • Tested compilation of all pkgs that depend on this change using nix-shell -p nox --run "nox-review wip"
  • Tested execution of all binary files (usually in ./result/bin/)
  • Fits CONTRIBUTING.md.

Tested using services.xserver.windowManager.awesome.luaModules = [ pkgs.luaPackages.luaposix ]; (second commit) and by testing that awesome still starts (first commit; i.e. it still finds LGI).

Instead of polluting the environment with environment variables which
are inherited by processes spawned from awesome, use the command line
argument "--search" to add things to the search path.

Update: I tested the changes and indeed the LUA_PATH and LUA_CPATH are now unset and everything still works 👍
