Merge branch 'ab/run-command'

API clean-up.

* ab/run-command:
  run-command API: remove "env" member, always use "env_array"
  difftool: use "env_array" to simplify memory management
  run-command API: remove "argv" member, always use "args"
  run-command API users: use strvec_push(), not argv construction
  run-command API users: use strvec_pushl(), not argv construction
  run-command tests: use strvec_pushv(), not argv assignment
  run-command API users: use strvec_pushv(), not argv assignment
  upload-archive: use regular "struct child_process" pattern
  worktree: stop being overly intimate with run_command() internals

-	 * The .argv member is set up as an array of string pointers (NULL

-	 * without a path). If the command to run is a git command, set argv[0] to
-	 * the command name without the 'git-' prefix and set .git_cmd = 1.
+	 * The .args is a `struct strvec', use that API to manipulate
+	 * it, e.g. strvec_pushv() to add an existing "const char **"
+	 * vector.
 	 *
-	 * Note that the ownership of the memory pointed to by .argv stays with the
-	 * caller, but it should survive until `finish_command` completes. If the
-	 * .argv member is NULL, `start_command` will point it at the .args
-	 * `strvec` (so you may use one or the other, but you must use exactly
-	 * one). The memory in .args will be cleaned up automatically during
-	 * `finish_command` (or during `start_command` when it is unsuccessful).
+	 * If the command to run is a git command, set the first
+	 * element in the strvec to the command name without the
+	 * 'git-' prefix and set .git_cmd = 1.
