If available, use gitk --argscmd in contrib/stg-gitk.

This allows to ask gitk to recompute the list of patches to show at
every refresh.  Before this, we had problems with 'stg-gitk --all':

 - deleting a patch that was existing at startup time would trigger an
 "unknown ref" error from gitk and force to quit/restart manually;
 - patches created since startup were only visible when applied, or
 when below one of the startup patches.

Note that --argscmd is not in official gitk yet, so we don't try to
use it if it's not available.
