libdpkg: Use execvp(3) unconditionally in command_exec()
execvp(3) already checks if its file argument contains a '/'; simplify
by not checking again for the same thing.
The real motivation is to avoid confusing behavior in an edge case:
when execve(2) fails with ENOEXEC, execvp will run the script using the
system shell but execv will error out.
Closes: #622094
