fix argsAlloc buffer size
The buffer `buf` contains N (= `slice_sizes.len`) slices followed by the N null-terminated arguments. The N null-terminated arguments are stored in the `contents` array list. Thus, `buf` size should be: @sizeOf([]u8) * slice_sizes.len + contents_slice.len Instead of: @sizeOf([]u8) * slice_sizes.len + contents_slice.len + slice_sizes.len This bug was found thanks to the gpa allocator which checks if freed size matches allocated sizes for large allocations.
