0006-pgrep: Initialize the cmd*[] stack buffers.

Otherwise (for example), if the (undocumented) opt_echo is set, but not
opt_long, and not opt_longlong, and not opt_pattern, there is a call to
xstrdup(cmdoutput) but cmdoutput was never initialized:

sleep 60 & echo "$!" > pidfile
env -i LD_DEBUG=`perl -e 'print "A" x 131000'` pkill -e -c -F pidfile | xxd
...
000001c0: 4141 4141 4141 4141 4141 4141 4141 4141  AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
000001d0: 4141 4141 4141 4141 fcd4 e6bd e47f 206b  AAAAAAAA...... k
000001e0: 696c 6c65 6420 2870 6964 2031 3230 3931  illed (pid 12091
000001f0: 290a 310a                                ).1.
[1]+  Terminated              sleep 60

(the LD_DEBUG is just a trick to fill the initial stack with non-null
bytes, to show that there is uninitialized data from the stack in the
output; here, an address "fcd4 e6bd e47f")
