refactor argv_array into generic code

The submodule code recently grew generic code to build a
dynamic argv array. Many other parts of the code can reuse
this, too, so let's make it generically available.

There are two enhancements not found in the original code:

  1. We now handle the NULL-termination invariant properly,
     even when no strings have been pushed (before, you
     could have an empty, NULL argv). This was not a problem
     for the submodule code, which always pushed at least
     one argument, but was not sufficiently safe for
     generic code.

  2. There is a formatted variant of the "push" function.
     This is a convenience function which was not needed by
     the submodule code, but will make it easier to port
     other users to the new code.
