exec_start_outgoing_migration() and exec_start_incoming_migration() leak argv because it uses g_steal_pointer() is used to pass argv qio_channel_command_new_spawn() while it does not free argv either.
Removing g_steal_pointer() is not sufficient though because argv is typed g_auto(GStrv), which means the array of strings *and strings* will be freed. The strings are only borrowed from the caller of exec_start_outgoing_migration() and exec_start_incoming_migration() so freeing them result in double-free. Instead, type argv as g_autofree char **. This ensures only the array of strings will be freed and the strings won't be freed. Also, remove unnecessary casts according to the new type.
