Change the common patter in the codebase of duplicating the
initialization logic between an *_INIT macro and a
corresponding *_init() function to use the macro as the canonical
source of truth.
Now we no longer need to keep the function up-to-date with the macro
version. This implements a suggestion by Jeff King who found that
under -O2 [1] modern compilers will init new version in place without
the extra copy[1]. The performance of a single *_init() won't matter
in most cases, but even if it does we're going to be producing
efficient machine code to perform these operations.

The "argc" and "argv" names made sense when the struct was argv_array,
but now they're just confusing. Let's rename them to "nr" (which we use
for counts elsewhere) and "v" (which is rather terse, but reads well
when combined with typical variable names like "args.v").
Note that we have to update all of the callers immediately. Playing
tricks with the preprocessor is hard here, because we wouldn't want to
rewrite unrelated tokens.

This requires updating #include lines across the code-base, but that's
all fairly mechanical, and was done with:
git ls-files '*.c' '*.h' |
xargs perl -i -pe 's/argv-array.h/strvec.h/'
