The argv_array_detach function (and associated free() function) was
really only useful for transferring ownership of the memory to a "struct
child_process". Now that we have an internal argv_array in that struct,
there are no callers left.

A GSoC project.
* fa/remote-svn:
Add a test script for remote-svn
remote-svn: add marks-file regeneration
Add a svnrdump-simulator replaying a dump file for testing
remote-svn: add incremental import
remote-svn: Activate import/export-marks for fast-import
Create a note for every imported commit containing svn metadata
vcs-svn: add fast_export_note to create notes
Allow reading svn dumps from files via file:// urls
remote-svn, vcs-svn: Enable fetching to private refs
When debug==1, start fast-import with "--stats" instead of "--quiet"
Add documentation for the 'bidi-import' capability of remote-helpers
Connect fast-import to the remote-helper via pipe, adding 'bidi-import' capability
Add argv_array_detach and argv_array_free_detached
Add svndump_init_fd to allow reading dumps from arbitrary FDs
Add git-remote-testsvn to Makefile
Implement a remote helper for svn in C
Allow detaching of ownership of the argv_array's contents and add a
function to free those detached argv_arrays later.
This makes it possible to use argv_array efficiently with the exiting
struct child_process which only contains a member char **argv.
Add to documentation.

Since the array struct stores a "const char **" argv member
(for compatibility with most of our argv-taking functions),
we have to cast away the const-ness when freeing its
elements.
However, we used the wrong type when doing so. It doesn't
make a difference since free() take a void pointer anyway,
but it can be slightly confusing to a reader.

Sometimes we build a set of similar command lines, differing
only in the final arguments (e.g., "fetch --multiple"). To
use argv_array for this, you have to either push the same
set of elements repeatedly, or break the abstraction by
manually manipulating the array's internal members.
Instead, let's provide a sanctioned "pop" function to remove
elements from the end.

It can be convenient to push many strings in a single line
(e.g., if you are initializing an array with defaults). This
patch provides a convenience wrapper to allow this.

An empty argv-array is initialized to point to a static
empty NULL-terminated array. The original implementation
separates the actual storage of the NULL-terminator from the
pointer to the list. This makes the exposed type a "const
char **", which nicely matches the type stored by the
argv-array.
However, this indirection means that one cannot use
empty_argv to initialize a static variable, since it is
not a constant.
Instead, we can expose empty_argv directly, as an array of
pointers. The only place we use it is in the ARGV_ARRAY_INIT
initializer, and it decays to a pointer appropriately there.

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.
