env_get_default suffers from a particular issue int that it can only return a value truncated to gd->env_buf (32) characters. This may be enough for most variables but it isn't for others, so let's allow users to provide a preallocated buffer to copy the value into instead, allowing for more control, though it'll still be truncated if the value size is bigger than the preallocated buffer.
