Bug 8878 - a command to provide a shell with the koha environment

This command behaves something like su(1), but provides you with a shell
as the koha user, and with the environment pointing to the right places.

<refsect1><title>Description</title>
<para>This launches a shell with the user and required environment variables set in such a way that running any Koha commands will
work correctly. With the use of '-c', it can be used to easily run commands in the correct environment.</para>
<para>It behaves mostly as a wrapper for <command>su(1)</command>, so a deeper discussion of the options can be found in there.</para>
