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.
