GLIBC execl{e,p} implementation might use malloc if the total number of
arguments exceed initial assumption size (1024). This might lead to
issues in two situations:
1. execl/execle is stated to be async-signal-safe by POSIX [1]. However
if execl is used in a signal handler with a large argument set (that
may call malloc internally) and if the resulting call fails it might
lead malloc in the program in a bad state.
2. If the functions are used in a vfork/clone(VFORK) situation it also
might issue malloc internal bad state.
This patch fixes it by using stack allocation instead. It also fixes
BZ#19534.
Tested on x86_64.

[BZ #19534]
* posix/execl.c (execl): Remove dynamic memory allocation.
* posix/execle.c (execle): Likewise.
* posix/execlp.c (execlp): Likewise.
