Manage environment variables in a temporary scope.

Some products use environment variables as a primary means to supply
credentials.  To ensure the lifetime of exposed credentials is short,
wrap them in a TemporaryEnvironment so that they are automatically
destroyed on scope exit.

You can:

- Set or unset environment variables inside a ``with`` code block,
- Get a warning if the code block modifies one of the environment
  variables,
- Optionally bypass restoration of the original environment variable
  value if the code block modifies the environment variable.

## Install

Install the latest version of tempenv:

```
pip install tempenv
```

## Examples

Each of these examples can be found in the tests.

Set some environment variables temporarily:
(see tests/example_set_test.py):

```python
def test_set(self):
    user_before = os.environ.get("USER")
    with TemporaryEnvironment({"USER": "nobody", "OTHER": "foo"}):
        assert os.environ.get("USER") == "nobody"
        assert os.environ.get("OTHER") == "foo"
    assert os.environ.get("USER") == user_before
```

Changing the value to ``None`` will unset the environment variable during
the code block
(see tests/example_unset_test.py):

```python
def test_unset(self):
    os.environ["DEBUG"] = "1"
    with TemporaryEnvironment({"DEBUG": None}):
        assert "DEBUG" not in os.environ
    assert "DEBUG" in os.environ
```

Changing a temporary environment variable during the scope will cause a
warning
(see tests/example_overwrite_test.py):

```python
def test_overwritten_in_context(self):
    with self.assertWarnsRegex(EnvironmentVariableChangedWarning, "FOO"):
        with TemporaryEnvironment({"FOO": "BAR"}):
            os.environ["FOO"] = "SAM"
```

If you set the optional argument ``restore_if_changed=False`` then a change
during the scope of the TemporaryEnvironment will not issue a warning and will
not restore to the original value
(see tests/example_ignore_test.py):

```python
def test_ignored_overwrite_in_context(self):
    os.environ["FOO"] = "BAR"
    with TemporaryEnvironment({"FOO": "SAM"}, restore_if_changed=False):
        os.environ["FOO"] = "DEAN"
    assert os.environ["FOO"] == "DEAN"
```

You can use TemporaryEnvironment in a unittest scope as follows
(see tests/example_unittest_test.py):

```python
@TemporaryEnvironment({"USER": "Crowley"})
def test_check(self):
    assert os.environ.get("USER") == "Crowley"
```
