Jeff King dbbcd44fb4 strvec: rename files from argv-array to strvec
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/'

/**
* The argv-array API allows one to dynamically build and store
* NULL-terminated lists. An argv-array maintains the invariant that the
* `argv` member always points to a non-NULL array, and that the array is
* always NULL-terminated at the element pointed to by `argv[argc]`. 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().
*/
