execv_dashed_external: use child_process struct

When we run a dashed external, we use the one-liner run_command_v_opt() to do so. Let's switch to using a child_process struct, which has two advantages: 1. We can drop all of the allocation and cleanup code for building our custom argv array, and just rely on the builtin argv_array (at the minor cost of doing a few extra mallocs). 2. We have access to the complete range of child_process options, not just the ones that the "_opt()" form can forward.
