run_embedded_interpreter() now defaults to remove_python_envvars() when no explicit env is provided, preventing PYTHONSTARTUP (e.g., set by VS Code shell integration) from leaking into the embedded interpreter and causing test failures. Also fix test_init_run_main_startup_exitcode to use remove_python_envvars() instead of dict(os.environ) as the base environment.

I ran into test_embed failures on my machine because VS Code's shell integration sets PYTHONSTARTUP in the environment. The embedded interpreter would pick it up and run the startup script, so the output had extra text before the expected "ok! Py_RunMain() returned 123".
The fix is straightforward: run_embedded_interpreter() now calls remove_python_envvars() when no explicit env is passed, so PYTHON* variables from the parent process don't leak in. I also updated test_init_run_main_startup_exitcode to use remove_python_envvars() as its base env instead of dict(os.environ), since that test sets its own PYTHONSTARTUP and shouldn't inherit whatever happens to be in the surroundings.
Closes #157006
