builtin/for-each-repo: remove unnecessary argv copy to plug leak

cmd_for_each_repo() copies argv into args (a strvec), which is later passed into run_command_on_repo(), which in turn copies that strvec onto the end of child.args. The initial copy is unnecessary (we never modify args). We therefore choose to just pass argv directly into run_command_on_repo(), which lets us avoid the copy and fixes the leak.
