Remove code that's been unused since it was added in
c553c72eed6 (run-command: add an asynchronous parallel child
processor, 2015-12-15), the next use of "i" in this function is:

	for (i = 0; ...
And it has been updated to a different type, i.e.

	for (size_t i = 0; ...

so it doubly makes sense to kill that unused variable.

Makes sense.
So we'll always clobber the "i" that's set here. Presumably the "i"
assignment is an artifact of WIP code that made it into our tree.

A subsequent commit will need to adjust the type of the "i" variable
in the otherwise unrelated for-loop, which is why this is being
removed now.
That, together with the earlier mention of the other i (which I
think came from the same source---perhaps the original topic this
was taken from had int->size_t change in it) are both stale.

Please proofread what you send out before submitting.

Thanks.
