This has caused trouble in the past [1] [2]; after attempting to help Git-for-Windows avoid that problem in Vim [3] by recommendation [4], it was suggested that upstreaming the change instead would be a better solution. Indeed, this should work for more uses/editors/etc.

I haven't managed to test this on Windows, so any extra eyeballs there are greatly appreciated. I'd also appreciate suggestions to fix the memory leak.
Structure: patches 1 & 2 are cleanups. In particular, patch 1 is essential to the tests in patch 4. I don't think patch 2 is strictly needed. Patch 3 refactors a little to make patch 4 take effect on all platforms. Patch 4 does the real work.

t7005: sanitize test environment for subsequent tests
editor: use standard strvec API to receive environment for external
editors
run-command: prep_childenv on all platforms
