hardcoded PATH environment variable when looking for ssh executable #143

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. I'm trying to run shellinabox on an Android platform (cross-compiled 
statically along with ssh also cross-compiled statically).
2. On Android there's no /usr or /bin folder, executable path is 
/sbin:/system/sbin:/system/bin:/system/xbin:
3. shellinaboxd looks for ssh executable within hardcoded PATH (defined in 
launcher.c: 

...
  (*environment)[numEnvVars++] = strdup(
                              "PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/games"));
...

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

It should at least allow to provide a configuration parameter where the 
executable for SSH is searched.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

2.10

Please provide any additional information below.

After modifying the launcher.c to add /system/xbin (location where I've copied 
the ssh executable), it works!

Looks like this should be a configured parameter.

Running into a similar problem on NixOS. So far I'm patching it with a Nix 
expression or using a workaround.

Nevertheless, I welcome a patch.
