Rollup merge of rust-lang#82464 - ehuss:unix-command-comment, r=kennytm

Update outdated comment in unix Command.

The big comment in the `Command` struct has been incorrect for some time (at least since rust-lang#46789 which removed `envp`). Rather than try to remove the allocations, this PR just updates the comment to reflect reality. There is an explanation for the reasoning at rust-lang#31409 (comment), discussing the potential of being able to call `Command::exec` after `libc::fork`.  That can still be done in the future, but I think for now it would be good to just correct the comment.
