[pve-devel] [PATCH container] fix #5194: delete environment variables set by pve

[Folke Gleumes]

proxmox-perl-rs set's SSL_CERT_{DIR,FILE}, which can break ssl in
containers if their certificate store can't be found in the same spot.
This patch explicitly unsets those variables before starting the
container.
