The function set_default_env() sets the hashtable flags for import_r().
Formally set_default_env() doesn't accept flags from its callers. In
practice the caller can (un)set the H_INTERACTIVE flag, but it has to be
done using the first character of the function's string argument. Other
flags like H_FORCE can't be set by the caller.
Change the function to accept flags argument. The benefits are:
1. The caller will have to explicitly set the H_INTERACTIVE flag,
instead of un-setting it using a special char in a string.
2. Add the ability to propagate flags from the caller to himport(),
especially the H_FORCE flag from do_env_default() in nvedit.c that
currently gets ignored for "env default -a -f" commands.
3. Flags and messages will not be coupled together. A caller will be
able to set flags without passing a string and vice versa.
Please note:
The propagation of H_FORCE from do_env_default() does not introduce any
functional changes, because currently himport_r() is set to destroy the
old environment regardless if H_FORCE flag is set or not. More changes
are needed to utilize the propagation of H_FORCE.
