[PATCH v2 04/12] builtin/for-each-repo: remove unnecessary argv copy to plug leak

[andrzej@ahunt.org]

From: Andrzej Hunt <ajrhunt@google.com>

cmd_for_each_repo() copies argv into args (a strvec), which is later
passed into run_command_on_repo(), which in turn copies that strvec onto
the end of child.args. The initial copy is unnecessary (we never modify
args). We therefore choose to just pass argv directly into
run_command_on_repo(), which lets us avoid the copy and fixes the leak.

LSAN output from t0068:

Direct leak of 192 byte(s) in 1 object(s) allocated from:

    #9 0x7f63bc9fa349 in __libc_start_main (/lib64/libc.so.6+0x24349)

See also discussion about the original implementation below - this code
appears to have evolved from a callback explaining the double-strvec-copy
pattern, but there's no strong reason to keep that now:
