exec: load_script: Do not exec truncated interpreter path
Commit 8099b047ecc4 ("exec: load_script: don't blindly truncate shebang string") was trying to protect against a confused exec of a truncated interpreter path. However, it was overeager and also refused to truncate arguments as well, which broke userspace, and it was reverted. This attempts the protection again, but allows arguments to remain truncated. In an effort to improve readability, helper functions and comments have been added.
