For now, don't strip `--HEAD` from `ARGV` prior to forking for install. Currently this doesn't work because the formula object the installer is acting on has its `prefix` set while under the influence of `--HEAD`. So, the installer bails out when it sees that nothing is installed to `f.prefix`. This is a hotfix for issue Homebrew/homebrew#8668 to allow formulae to keep building. A proper fix should ensure that formula installers are operating on objects with appropriately set `prefix` values.
