builtin/annotate: fix leaking args vector

We're leaking the args vector in git-annotate(1) because we never clear
it. Fixing it isn't as easy as calling `strvec_clear()` though because
calling `cmd_blame()` will cause the underlying array to be modified.
Instead, we also need to pass a shallow copy of the argv array to the
function.

Do so to plug the memory leaks.
