Description
Support option for multiple trees in same python session. Allow new trees without overriding the local os.environ. Currently tree first checks the TREE_VER envvar and checks local environment variables, due to module constraints.
the tree/tree.py file needs some TLC.
- Want the tree python object to contain the envvar and path definitions for use programmatically. Add support to use them. e.g. sdss_access needs updates. this won't work for pipelines or other software generally
- Want to (optionally) update the os.environ with the new variables. Retain original usage.

Research direction
Start in tree/tree.py by tracing how TREE_VER and local environment variables are read when a tree is created. In a Python session, verify that multiple tree objects can retain their own environment and path definitions, and that updating os.environ is optional while existing usage remains supported. Done means the requested programmatic access and multiple-tree behavior work without overriding the local environment by default.
