argv-array: use size_t for count and alloc
On most 64-bit platforms, "int" is significantly smaller than a size_t,
which could lead to integer overflow and under-allocation of the array.
It's probably impossible to trigger in practice, as it would imply on
the order of 2^32 individual allocations. Even if was possible to grow
an array in that way (and we typically only use it for sets of strings,
like command line options), each allocation needs a pointer, malloc
overhead, etc. You'd quite likely run out of RAM before succeeding in
such an overflow.
But all that hand-waving aside, it's easy enough to use the correct
type, so let's do so.
