    cron(8): set the environment variables of the user and/or login class
    
    Prior to processing environment variable set in the crontab file as those
    should be of higher precedent, pull in the user or login class environment.
    
    This is another supporting feature for allowing one to configure system-wide
    settings that may affect both regular cron jobs as well as services.
    
    This is the final part of D21481.
    
    (cherry picked from commit 7466dbd684879cbe8d034f388f0c7da703e00c31)
