[PATCH] run-command: Improve readability of struct child_process

From: Stefan Beller <hidden>
Date: 2016-06-15 23:06:10
Subsystem: the rest · Maintainer: Linus Torvalds

Reordering the struct member env to be next to env_array
helps understanding the struct better.

This also adds comments to indicate that arg{s,v} and (env, env_array)
are used for the same purpose and only one must be used. Although
these comments are in the Documentation, I still think they are
a good idea in the code here as well.
