[StGIT PATCH not for master, v2] Use gitk --argscmd in contrib/stg-gitk.

This allows to ask gitk to recompute the list of patches to show at every refresh. Before this, we had problems with 'stg-gitk --all':

 - deleting a patch that was existing at startup time would trigger an
 "unknown ref" error from gitk and force to quit/restart manually;
 - patches created since startup were only visible when applied, or
 when below one of the startup patches.
---

This version fixes a couple of glitches when using stg-gitk to display several branches simultaneously, introduced by the 1st version. This is a sure sign that this script should be pythonized soon :)

Still not to apply to master, since the gitk patch it depends has not been applied.
