[ros-kernel] bugfix

[Royce M. I. <ro...@ev...>]

I've fixed RtlSetEnvironmentVariable, but at the moment the fix is using a
static buffer. Can I safely call palloc from that function? Once I get that
straightened out, I'll pass it on.

I have also discovered a bug in RtlExpandEnvironmentStrings_U in the
process.
