This makes the private `gix_testtools::configure_command` function generic (in type as well as lifetime) to accept anything as `args` that the `args` method of `std::process::Command` accepts. This also uses the broader parameter type to simplify a test.
I'm not sure if this is better, but the new genericity distracts less from what the function is really about when prsented this way.
This problem can be avoided by a design that doesn't create the assumption that such calls would have an effect, or that prevents them from being made (e.g. a builder funtion), or by accounting for and honoring them (which may involve reimplementing a fragment of the Windows API based case-folding that `std::process::Command` uses). But none of these approaches really seems overall better than what we are doing now. So for now, keep the design but note this one confusing spot. This is a private function, so I've just commented by where the relevant logic is, rather than using a `///` comment.

No major design changes along the lines discussed in #1578 seemed like a decisive improvement; all of them had significant disadvantages. This instead:
configure_commandtake anything we can iterate to get arguments, rather than requiring a&[String]. This makes the current test simpler and easier to read, and should also help with future tests.envandenv_removecalls on theCommandobject where"MSYS"is the key, since we take it from our environment directly and modify that.There's slightly more thoughts in the commit messages. Also, I had trouble articulating why I thought 0e1e6a9 might be better here, since I don't usually prefer the more compact style, so maybe it's better without that change.
