/**

 * This takes the current argc/argv, and executes an "anternate" version
 * of the current program ("alternate" meaning e.g. DAFS/non-DAFS,
 * 32-bit/64-bit, etc). For example, if the current running program is
 * fssync-debug, running afs_exec_alt(argc, argc, "da", NULL) will try
 * to execute a "dafssync-debug" program, if it can be run.
 *
 * @param[in] argc  argc for the current program
 * @param[in] argv  argv for the current program
 * @param[in] prefix  prefix for the alternate program (or NULL)
 * @param[in] suffix  suffix for the alternate program (or NULL)
 *
 * @return the program that we failed to run, or NULL if we failed
 *         before constructing it. This string must be freed by the caller
 *
 * @pre at least one of 'prefix' or 'suffix' is non-NULL and non-empty
 *
 * @note if successful, never returns
