The -e flag for testscript currently allows the caller to specify that
environment variables are inherited from the current environment.
However this falls when the current environment does not have a value
set and you need to set a specific value. For example:
GOBUILD=$(go env GOBUILD) testscript -e GOBUILD script.txt
Instead, allow -e to also specify a value:
testscript -e GOBUILD=$(go env GOBUILD) script.txt
which feels more fluent/natural.
