This is a step in the right direction, IMO. This way to initialize the
struct feels mucth better because it does not depend on that the bit
pattern of the NULL pointer is all zeros.

You missed a few instances in builtin/receive-pack.c. Is this deliberate?
Another one is in transport-helper.c::fetch_with_import() that is
currently initialized in get_importer(), and another one in
push_refs_with_export() that is initialized in get_exporter().
Should the static struct child_process variables in pager.c and
connect.c use the macro? It would just be for completeness, but does not
change the correctness. I dunno.

I would have expected this to read
#define CHILD_PROCESS_INIT { NULL, ARGV_ARRAY_INIT }
It does change the bit pattern of the initialized struct child_process
because ARGV_ARRAY_INIT uses a non-NULL address. But IMHO
ARGV_ARRAY_INIT should be used here as a defensive measure.
