tee: simplify argv handling

* src/tee.c (tee_files): Last arg is now char ** instead of char
const **, as that is a bit simpler.  All callers changed.  Modify
files[-1], not files[nfiles], as that is a bit faster and simpler.
Latter problem pointed out by Rainer Deyke in:
http://bugs.gnu.org/21611
