The new hook.h library has replaced all run-command.h hook-related
functionality. So let's delete this dead code.

Move the post-index-change hook away from run-command.h to and over to
the new hook.h library.

This removes the last direct user of "run_hook_ve()" outside of
run-command.c ("run_hook_le()" still uses it). So we can make the
function static now. A subsequent commit will remove this code
entirely when "run_hook_le()" itself goes away.

The function to cull a child process and determine the exit status
had two separate code paths for normal callers and callers in a
signal handler, and the latter did not yield correct value when the
child has caught a signal.  The handling of the exit status has
been unified for these two code paths.  An existing test with
flakiness has also been corrected.

Change code that printed its own "fatal: " message and exited with a
status code of 128 to use the die_message() function added in a
preceding commit.

This change also demonstrates why the return value of
die_message_routine() needed to be that of "report_fn". We have
callers such as the run-command.c::child_err_spew() which would like
to replace its error routine with the return value of
"get_die_message_routine()".

Remove the "env" member from "struct child_process" in favor of always
using the "env_array". As with the preceding removal of "argv" in
favor of "args" this gets rid of current and future oddities around
memory management at the API boundary (see the amended API docs).

For some of the conversions we can replace patterns like:

    child.env = env-&gt;v;

With:

    strvec_pushv(&amp;child.env_array, env-&gt;v);

But for others we need to guard the strvec_pushv() with a NULL check,
since we're not passing in the "v" member of a "struct strvec",
e.g. in the case of tmp_objdir_env()'s return value.

Ideally we'd rename the "env_array" member to simply "env" as a
follow-up, since it and "args" are now inconsistent in not having an
"_array" suffix, and seemingly without any good reason, unless we look
at the history of how they came to be.

But as we've currently got 122 in-tree hits for a "git grep env_array"
let's leave that for now (and possibly forever). Doing that rename
would be too disruptive.

<id>urn:sha1:d3b2159712019a06f1f495d3e42bd6aa6e76e848</id>
<content type='text'>
Remove the "argv" member from the run-command API, ever since "args"
was added in c460c0ecdca (run-command: store an optional argv_array,
2014-05-15) being able to provide either "argv" or "args" has led to
some confusion and bugs.

If we hadn't gone in that direction and only had an "argv" our
problems wouldn't have been solved either, as noted in [1] (and in the
documentation amended here) it comes with inherent memory management
issues: The caller would have to hang on to the "argv" until the
run-command API was finished. If the "argv" was an argument to main()
this wasn't an issue, but if it it was manually constructed using the
API might be painful.

We also have a recent report[2] of a user of the API segfaulting,
which is a direct result of it being complex to use. This commit
addresses the root cause of that bug.

This change is larger than I'd like, but there's no easy way to avoid
it that wouldn't involve even more verbose intermediate steps. We use
the "argv" as the source of truth over the "args", so we need to
change all parts of run-command.[ch] itself, as well as the trace2
logging at the same time.

The resulting Windows-specific code in start_command() is a bit nasty,
as we're now assigning to a strvec's "v" member, instead of to our own
"argv". There was a suggestion of some alternate approaches in reply
to an earlier version of this commit[3], but let's leave larger a
larger and needless refactoring of this code for now.

<content type='text'>
Migrate those run-command API users that assign directly to the "argv"
member to use a strvec_pushv() of "args" instead.

In these cases it did not make sense to further refactor these
callers, e.g. daemon.c could be made to construct the arguments closer
to handle(), but that would require moving the construction from its
cmd_main() and pass "argv" through two intermediate functions.

It would be possible for a change like this to introduce a regression
if we were doing:

      cp.argv = argv;
      argv[1] = "foo";

And changed the code, as is being done here, to:

      strvec_pushv(&amp;cp.args, argv);
      argv[1] = "foo";

But as viewing this change with the "-W" flag reveals none of these
functions modify variable that's being pushed afterwards in a way that
would introduce such a logic error.
