add argv_split()
argv_split() is a helper function which takes a string, splits it at
whitespace, and returns a NULL-terminated argv vector. This is
deliberately simple - it does no quote processing of any kind.
[ Seems to me that this is something which is already being done in
the kernel, but I couldn't find any other implementations, either to
steal or replace. Keep an eye out. ]
