Rollup merge of rust-lang#77029 - ehuss:command-access, r=dtolnay
Add accessors to Command.
This adds some accessor methods to `Command` to provide a way to access the values set when building the `Command`. An example where this can be useful is to display the command to be executed. This is roughly based on the [`ProcessBuilder`](https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/blob/13b73cdaf76b2d9182515c9cf26a8f68342d08ef/src/cargo/util/process_builder.rs#L105-L134) in Cargo.
Possible concerns about the API:
- Values with NULs on Unix will be returned as `"<string-with-nul>"`. I don't think it is practical to avoid this, since otherwise a whole separate copy of all the values would need to be kept in `Command`.
- Does not handle `arg0` on Unix. This can be awkward to support in `get_args` and is rarely used. I figure if someone really wants it, it can be added to `CommandExt` as a separate method.
- Does not offer a way to detect `env_clear`. I'm uncertain if it would be useful for anyone.
- Does not offer a way to get an environment variable by name (`get_env`). I figure this can be added later if anyone really wants it. I think the motivation for this is weak, though. Also, the API could be a little awkward (return a `Option<Option<&OsStr>>`?).
- `get_envs` could skip "cleared" entries and just return `&OsStr` values instead of `Option<&OsStr>`. I'm on the fence here. My use case is to display a shell command, and I only intend it to be roughly equivalent to the actual execution, and I probably won't display `None` entries. I erred on the side of providing extra information, but I suspect many situations will just filter out the `None`s.
- Could implement more iterator stuff (like `DoubleEndedIterator`).
I have not implemented new std items before, so I'm uncertain if the existing issue should be reused, or if a new tracking issue is needed.
