Andrew Hewus Fresh a6c35b6d5e
Directly exec ExternalTokenHelper rather than using a SHELL (#29653)
* [OT] use `new` builtin for visual clarity

`new(ExternalTokenHelper)` is a lot easier to parse than
`(*ExternalTokenHelper)(nil)`

* add `Args` field to `ExternalTokenHelper`

This will be used to store any extra command arguments and allows
`BinaryPath` to hold *just* the binary path.

* remove shell invocation

Since `BinPath` no longer has to hold any additional arguments we can
execute the command directly without inoking the shell first.

* update `testExternalTokenHelper` to make use of the new `Args` field

* updated `ExternalTokenHelper` documentation

* Add changelog entry for token_helper without shell

Currently using 0.txt until we have a PR id.

* Rename 0.txt to 29653.txt

We got a PR ID, so fix the changelog file

// nothing.
// - "erase" - Erase the contents stored. Output nothing.
