* tools: let the launcher own the command name for timeout, download, diff, repeat, time `v <name>` passes the command name in front of the arguments for every tool. These five tools then removed one argument again with `skip_executable()`, which only works through the launcher. A direct run of the compiled tool lost its first argument: `timeout --version` and `diff --version` both failed with "Expected at least N arguments, but got 0". The launcher now removes the command name for these commands, as it already did for `retry`, and the tools no longer skip it. A direct run and `v <name>` hand the tool the same argv.

Tool arguments
The diff, download, repeat, time, and timeout tools accept the same arguments when
run through the V launcher or as standalone executables. The launcher removes the tool command
name before forwarding arguments, preserving the first option or positional argument.
For example, ./v timeout --version and a compiled timeout --version both print the version.
Likewise, ./v time echo hello and a compiled time echo hello run the same command.
