Time to time, test_asyncio.test_subprocess fails with "env changed" on "AMD64 Debian root 3.x" buildbot.

Example: https://buildbot.python.org/#/builders/2019/builds/114

Research direction

Start with test/test_asyncio/test_subprocess.py and the test_asyncio.test_subprocess failure shown in the AMD64 Debian buildbot log. Run the relevant test and inspect how subprocess resources are finalized around the failing tests. Done means the intermittent "env changed" failure and unclosed FileIO ResourceWarning no longer occur.
