Fix special case env insulation bug running init scripts as root.

When running init scripts as root in an environment where the
~perforce user source 'p4_vars' with a default instnace, this
impacts init scripts run as root, due to loss of SDP_INSTANCE
setting with the su/exec.
20491Fixed an environment insulation bug in init scripts.

More testing (and thinking) revealed that the only way to truly
provide a guarantee of insulation from user-set defaults in
~perforce/.bashrc (etc.) is to pass SDP_INSTANCE as a parameter to
the *_base scripts, so that the instance name is explicitly passed
into the su/exec call (when run as root).

This change also includes minor cleanup in init scripts and *_base
scripts.
