sh_type(): Do not set POSIX mode when invoked as su

Browse source 
On Linux, the 'su' program sets $0 to '-su' when doing 'su -' or
'su - username'. When ksh is the target account's default shell,
this caused ksh to consider itself to be launched as a standard
POSIX sh, which (among other things) disables the default aliases
on interactive shells. This caused confusion for at least one user
as they lost their 'history' alias after 'su -':

bash does not consider itself to be sh when invoked as su, so ksh
probably shouldn't, either. The behaviour was also undocumented,
making it even more surprising.

src/cmd/ksh93/sh/init.c: sh_type():
- Only set the SH_TYPE_POSIX bit if we're invoked as 'sh' (or, on
  windows, as 'sh.exe').
