<pull.913.git.1616511182942.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
From: ZheNing Hu <adlternative@gmail.com>

In the original implementation of `trailer.<token>.command`, use `strbuf_replace` to replace `$ARG` in the <value> of the trailer, but it have a problem:`strbuf_replace` replace the `$ARG` in command only once, If the user's trailer command have used more then one `$ARG`, error will occur.

So pass `$ARG` as an environment variable to the trailer command, all `$ARG` in the command will be replaced, which will fix this problem.

    [GSOC] trailer: change $ARG to environment variable
    
    In https://lore.kernel.org/git/xmqqv99i4ck2.fsf@gitster.g/ Junio and
    Christian talked about the problem of using strbuf_replace() to replace
    $ARG.
    
    The current new solution is to pass $ARG as an environment variable into
    the command.
