run-command: add env_array, an optional argv_array for env
Similar to args, add a struct argv_array member to struct child_process that simplifies specifying the environment for children. It is freed automatically by finish_command() or if start_command() encounters an error.

+If the .env member is NULL, `start_command` will point it at the

specify it in the .dir member.
