argv-array: drop "detach" code
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The argv_array_detach function (and associated free() function) was
really only useful for transferring ownership of the memory to a "struct
child_process". Now that we have an internal argv_array in that struct,
there are no callers left.
