permission: clamp Worker grants to parent for explicit execArgv

SEMVER-MAJOR: when the parent has the Permission Model enabled, a Worker
with explicit execArgv (including []) cannot obtain wider permission-related
grants than the parent.

Only when execArgv is an explicit array: clamp EnvironmentOptions and rebuild
exec_argv_out for CreateEnvironment.

+When the Permission Model is enabled in the parent process, creating a
+`worker_threads.Worker` with an explicit `execArgv` option (including an empty
+array) no longer allows the worker to obtain a wider permission-related grant
+set than the parent. Non-permission `execArgv` flags are unaffected. This is a
+breaking change relative to earlier releases where `execArgv: []` could drop
+the parent's Permission Model grants.
