[VAR] Fix loss of variables when hash collides

Brian Koropoff reported that the new var patches broke the following
script:

#!/bin/dash
GDM_LANG="bar"
OPTION="foo"
unset GDM_LANG
# OPTION has mysteriously become unset
echo "$OPTION"

He correctly diagnosed this as a result of removing all variables
in the hash chain preceding the one that should be removed in
setvareq.

He also provided a patch to fix this.

This patch is based on his but without keeping the original vpp.
As a result, we now store new variables at the end of the hash
chain instead of the beginning.

To make this work, setvareq/setvar now returns the vp pointer
modified.  In case they're used to unset a variable the pointer
returned is undefined.  This is because mklocal needs it and
used to get it by assuming that the new variable always appear
at the beginning of the chain.
