René Scharfe eb5b6b57d0 replace and remove run_command_v_opt_cd_env()
run_command_v_opt_cd_env() is only used in an example in a comment.  Use
the struct child_process member "env" and run_command() directly instead
and then remove the unused convenience function.

/*
* This API allows you to create a temporary object directory, advertise it to
* sub-processes via GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY and GIT_ALTERNATE_OBJECT_DIRECTORIES,
* and then either migrate its object into the main object directory, or remove
* it. The library handles unexpected signal/exit death by cleaning up the
* temporary directory.
*
* Example:
*
* struct child_process child = CHILD_PROCESS_INIT;
* struct tmp_objdir *t = tmp_objdir_create("incoming");
* strvec_push(&child.args, cmd);
* strvec_pushv(&child.env, tmp_objdir_env(t));
* if (!run_command(&child)) && !tmp_objdir_migrate(t))
* printf("success!\n");
* else
* die("failed...tmp_objdir will clean up for us");
*
