http: use internal argv_array of struct child_process

rscharfe · gitster · commit c7191fa51011 · 2017-12-22T13:33:48.000-08:00
Avoid a strangely magic array size (it's slightly too big) and explicit
index numbers by building the command line for index-pack using the
embedded argv_array of the child_process.  Add the flag -o and its
argument with argv_array_pushl() to make it obvious that they belong
together.  The resulting code is shorter and easier to extend.
