According to the Python documentation[1]:
> Calls to unsetenv() don’t update os.environ, so it is actually
> preferable to delete items of os.environ.
It means that os.unsetenv is not enough to remove an entry from
os.environ. This is why the following test was failing:
os.unsetenv('XDG_CONFIG_HOME')
assert fn() == os.path.expanduser('~/.config/toot/config.json')
os.unsetenv did not influence the output of the subsequent call to
os.getenv() in get_config_file_path(). As a result the original value
was returned instead of the fallback value of '~/.config'.
This bug was discovered during porting toot to FreeBSD as the FreeBSD
Ports framework passes XDG_CONFIG_HOME to make's environment.
