fix invalid write in pop_cmd()
The memmove() in pop_cmd() reads and writes beyond the end of argv. This is basically harmless in the current C program; the environment variable list immediately follows argv so all this does is unnecessarily copy the beginning of that list. However, this will become problematic once we start calling C functions like fs_cmds() from Rust code. Then argv will be a Vec<String> (as *mut *mut i8) and the memory layout will be different--in particular, I don't think we can assume that a Vec<String> will be NULL-terminated like argv always is--, meaning the invalid write could lead to heap corruption. Also, it doesn't look like full_cmd ever gets used after calling pop_cmd() so I'm removing it here since it looks unneeded to me.
