Jeff King 8d133a4653 strvec: use size_t to store nr and alloc
We converted argv_array (which later became strvec) to use size_t in
819f0e76b1 (argv-array: use size_t for count and alloc, 2020-07-28) in
order to avoid the possibility of integer overflow. But later, commit
d70a9eb611 (strvec: rename struct fields, 2020-07-28) accidentally
converted these back to ints!

Those two commits were part of the same patch series. I'm pretty sure
what happened is that they were originally written in the opposite order
and then cleaned up and re-ordered during an interactive rebase. And
when resolving the inevitable conflict, I mistakenly took the "rename"
patch completely, accidentally dropping the type change.

We can correct it now; better late than never.

/**
* The strvec API allows one to dynamically build and store
* NULL-terminated arrays of strings. A strvec maintains the invariant that the
* `items` member always points to a non-NULL array, and that the array is
* always NULL-terminated at the element pointed to by `items[nr]`. This
* makes the result suitable for passing to functions expecting to receive
* argv from main().
*
* The string-list API (documented in string-list.h) is similar, but cannot be
* used for these purposes; instead of storing a straight string pointer,
* it contains an item structure with a `util` field that is not compatible
* with the traditional argv interface.
*
* Each `strvec` manages its own memory. Any strings pushed into the
* array are duplicated, and all memory is freed by strvec_clear().
