prepare_{git,shell}_cmd: use argv_array

These functions transform an existing argv into one suitable
for exec-ing or spawning via git or a shell. We can use an
argv_array in each to avoid dealing with manual counting and
allocation.

This also makes the memory allocation more clear and fixes
some leaks. In prepare_shell_cmd, we would sometimes
allocate a new string with "$@" in it and sometimes not,
meaning the caller could not correctly free it. On the
non-Windows side, we are in a child process which will
exec() or exit() immediately, so the leak isn't a big deal.
On Windows, though, we use spawn() from the parent process,
and leak a string for each shell command we run. On top of
that, the Windows code did not free the allocated argv array
at all (but does for the prepare_git_cmd case!).

By switching both of these functions to write into an
argv_array, we can consistently free the result as
appropriate.
