tons of environment variables

HPK generates tons of environmental variables.

In Docker:

SHLVL=1
TERM=xterm

When running with runuser it needs the --login flag.

-, -l, --login
           Start the shell as a login shell with an environment similar
           to a real login:

           •   clears all the environment variables except for TERM and
               variables specified by --whitelist-environment

           •   initializes the environment variables HOME, SHELL, USER,
               LOGNAME, and PATH

           •   changes to the target user’s home directory

           •   sets argv[0] of the shell to '-' in order to make the
               shell a login shell

If we do so, the env variables become:

TERM=screen-256color
USER=mpiuser
HOME=/home/mpiuser
LOGNAME=mpiuser 
PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin
SHELL=/bin/sh   
PWD=/home/mpiuser
