Subject: [PATCH 2/4] exec: introduce "bool compat" argument

No functional changes, preparation to simplify the review.

And the new (and currently unused) "bool compat" argument to
get_arg_ptr(), count(), and copy_strings().

Add this argument to do_execve() as well, and rename it to
do_execve_common().

Reintroduce do_execve() as a trivial wrapper() on top of
do_execve_common(compat => false).
