[PATCH v2] tests: unset COLUMNS inherited from environment

$COLUMNS must be unset to not interfere with the tests. The tests already ignore the terminal size because output is redirected to a file, but COLUMNS overrides terminal size detection and changes the test output away from the standard 80.

Right, it is better to unset $COLUMNS globally. t4016 was also affected.
