posix path of the target file. Any found suffix is returned in known_suffix.
Eventually the posix path in buf is overwritten with the exact path as it
gets constructed for the path search. The reason is that the path is used
to create argv[0] in av::setup, and this requires that the filename stays
intact, instead of being resolved if the file is a symlink.
If the file is not found and !FE_NNF then the POSIX version of name is
placed in buf and returned. Otherwise the contents of buf is undefined
