sysproc: raise limit on #! lines, and allow quoted args

Our #! line length is very short, and the naïve quoting
makes it difficult to pass more complicated arguments to
the programs being run. This is fine for simple interpreters,
but it's often useful to pass arguments to more complicated
interpreters like auth/box or awk.

This change raises the limit, but also switches to tokenizing
via tokenize(2), rather than hand rolled whitespace splitting.

The limits chosen are arbitrary, but they leave approximately
3 KiB of stack space on 386, and 13k on amd64. This is a lot
of stack used, but it should leave enough for fairly deep
devtab chan stacks.
