Fix unit tests failing when OS_ env vars are set
tests/unit/test_shell.py:TestParsing tests can fail if there are OS_* variables set in the environment. There is already code in the test setUp to remove ST_* variables, so we should do the same for OS_* variables. This patch also changes the mechanism used to remove and then restore any unwanted variables found in os.environ. The existing setUp() takes a copy of os.environ and then deletes any ST_* variables in the original. In tearDown() it sets os.environ as the copy. However, the environ imported into shell.py remains pointing to the original os.environ object. So after the first call to tearDown, subsequent mocking of os.environ has no effect on shell.environ. This renders some of the tests ineffective e.g. test_insufficient_env_vars_v3 is not actually setting any vars in shell.environ. The issue can be provoked by repeating a test: nosetests -w tests/unit/ test_shell.py:TestParsing.test_args_v3 \ test_shell.py:TestParsing.test_args_v3 The test will pass first time and fail second time.
