Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason 608cfd31cf *.h _INIT macros: don't specify fields equal to 0
Change the initialization of "struct strbuf" changed in
cbc0f81d96 (strbuf: use designated initializers in STRBUF_INIT,
2017-07-10) to omit specifying "alloc" and "len", as we do with other
"alloc" and "len" (or "nr") in similar structs.

Let's likewise omit the explicit initialization of all fields in the
"struct ipc_client_connect_option" struct added in
59c7b88198 (simple-ipc: add win32 implementation, 2021-03-15).

Do the same for a few other initializers, e.g. STRVEC_INIT and
CACHE_DEF_INIT.

Finally, start incrementally changing the same pattern in
"t/helper/test-run-command.c". This change was part of an earlier
on-list version[1] of c90be786da (test-tool run-command: fix
flip-flop init pattern, 2021-09-11).

/**
* The strvec API allows one to dynamically build and store
* NULL-terminated arrays of strings. A strvec maintains the invariant that the
* `items` member always points to a non-NULL array, and that the array is
* always NULL-terminated at the element pointed to by `items[nr]`. This
* makes the result suitable for passing to functions expecting to receive
* argv from main().
*
* The string-list API (documented in string-list.h) is similar, but cannot be
* used for these purposes; instead of storing a straight string pointer,
* it contains an item structure with a `util` field that is not compatible
* with the traditional argv interface.
*
* Each `strvec` manages its own memory. Any strings pushed into the
* array are duplicated, and all memory is freed by strvec_clear().
