test_embed may fail if PYTHONSTARTUP set

Bug report

Bug description:

The Visual Studio Code Python Extension (https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-python.python) added what it calls "Shell Integration" recently. That adds aPYTHONSTARTUP environment variable to the environment variables of terminals it starts pointing to a file pythonrc.py. That changes the prompt the REPL prints and adds various hooks.

Changing what is printed breaks test_embed (./python -m test test_embed) which has some direct assertions on what is printed:

test_embed should clear / ignore the environment in this test (as it does many others).
