From: Steve Sistare <steven.sistare@oracle.com>

Simplify the exec migration code by using list utility functions.

As a side effect, this also fixes a minor memory leak.  On function return,
"g_auto(GStrv) argv" frees argv and each element, which is wrong, because
the function does not own the individual elements.  To compensate, the code
uses g_steal_pointer which NULLs argv and prevents the destructor from
running, but argv is leaked.

Fixes: cbab4face57b ("migration: convert exec backend ...")
