Fix: use lttng_secure_getenv to handle env. vars. involving paths

This is a security fix for applications linked against liblttng-ust
which are exposed as setuid binaries.

A malicious user which can run those applications could target those
environment variable paths to locations that would allow it to create
files in various areas of the filesystem.
