Re: [PATCH] test-in-container: Do not set GCONV_PATH, LOCPATH

That was just an example of an environment variable that affects the
build.  I don't know what environment variables affect the test cases.
Timeout-related?  Without a review of *every* test that might be run in
a container, we won't know what environment variables are valid for the
user to specify.

We don't know they're valid, but we don't know they're invalid either.
We don't filter the environment for non-container variables.  Not
over-filtering the container is at least consistent.
