setenv: Modernize

The setenv module's code, shared with glibc, contains an unnecessary
cast from 'char **' to 'char *'. Probably it was once needed for pre-ANSI C
systems, when the type 'void *' did not exist and memcpy() took a 'char *'
as first argument. This is long obsolete.

        setenv: Modernize.
        * lib/setenv.c (__add_to_environ): Remove unnecessary casts.
