This fixes the leak with `setProgArgv`. The problem was
that `setProgArgv` would not free the objects pointed
to by `prog_argc`, `prog_argv` when the globals were
changed resulting in a leak.

The only strictly necessary change is in `rts/RtsFlags.c`, but
the code in `System.Environment` was a bit confusing and not
exception safe, so I refactored it.
