Hmph.  Does the same observation apply to cmd->argv that is
initialied to point to cmd->args.argv only when it is unset?

These managed argv/env arrays originate from c460c0ec (run-command:
store an optional argv_array, 2014-05-15), so I am CC'ing Peff.  I
think this change makes sense but I suspect we should do the same
for args.
