[PATCH v3 1/9] worktree: stop being overly intimate with run_command() internals

["Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason" <avarab@gmail.com>]

From: Eric Sunshine <sunshine@sunshineco.com>

add_worktree() reuses a `child_process` for three run_command()
invocations, but to do so, it has overly-intimate knowledge of
run-command.c internals. In particular, it knows that it must reset
child_process::argv to NULL for each subsequent invocation[*] in order
for start_command() to latch the newly-populated child_process::args for
each invocation, even though this behavior is not a part of the
documented API. Beyond having overly-intimate knowledge of run-command.c
internals, the reuse of one `child_process` for three run_command()
invocations smells like an unnecessary micro-optimization. Therefore,
stop sharing one `child_process` and instead use a new one for each
run_command() call.

[*] If child_process::argv is not reset to NULL, then subsequent
run_command() invocations will instead incorrectly access a dangling
pointer to freed memory which had been allocated by child_process::args
on the previous run. This is due to the following code in
start_command():

    if (!cmd->argv)
        cmd->argv = cmd->args.v;
