Problem:  tests: Test_backupskip() may read from $HOME
Solution: Set $HOME to an empty value, use --clean
          (D Ben Knoble)

Even though we unset HOME, we can see via scriptnames that user files
are still sourced! One of my installed plugins warns when not compiled
with +python3, so this test has a "press Enter" prompt.

Use `--clean` like most other GetVimProg()'s do to fix it. Some tests
use `system()` instead, but that turns this test into a failure rather
than passing; I'm not sure why other tests don't suffer from this.

To prove to ourselves, we can use code like this:

    diff --git i/src/testdir/test_options.vim w/src/testdir/test_options.vim
    index a408e20e1..044364a54 100644

Here, that causes "foo" to include a bunch of files under ~/.vim. I'm
not sure why this happens, but lets paper over it for the test.

We can also tell that (orthogonal to --clean) setting HOME='' works too.
Let's do that in addition since unsetting HOME isn't quite enough.
