os: rewrite LookupEnv's test

GOROOT is not dependably set.

When I first wrote this test, I thought it was a waste of time
because the function can't fail if the other environment functions
work, but I didn't want to add functionality without testing it.
Of course, the test broke, and I learned something: GOROOT is not
set on iOS or, to put it more broadly, the world continues to
surprise me with its complexity and horror, such as a version of
cat with syntax coloring.

In that vein, I built this test around smallpox.
