Issue: Investigate off-by-1 in `scrapy.cmdline._pop_command_name()`
It looks like `del argv[i]` removes the wrong item in `scrapy.cmdline._pop_command_name()` but as we don't seem to see any problems because of this it's worth investigating what exactly happens here and either fixing or refactoring the code.
Pull request description: Fix _pop_command_name and include tests
This PR resolves #6600. I have also created a test file called test_cmdline_pop_command_name.py within tests/test_cmdline
