tests: use "env" to run commands with temporary env-var settings
Ordinarily, we would say "VAR=VAL command" to execute a tested
command with environment variable(s) set only for that command.
This however does not work if 'command' is a shell function (most
notably 'test_must_fail'); the result of the assignment is retained
and affects later commands.
To avoid this, we used to assign and export environment variables
and run such a test in a subshell, like so:
(
VAR=VAL && export VAR &&
test_must_fail git command to be tested
)
But with "env" utility, we should be able to say:
test_must_fail env VAR=VAL git command to be tested
which is much shorter and easier to read.
