runtime: only initialize os.runtime_args when needed

This generally means that code size is reduced, especially when the os
package is not imported.

Specifically:

  - On Linux (which currently statically links musl), it avoids calling
    malloc, which avoids including the musl C heap for small programs
    saving around 1.6kB.
  - On WASI, it avoids initializing the args slice when the os package
    is not used. This reduces binary size by around 1kB.
