Fix Windows env var upcasing regression

This uses a simple hand-rolled context manager to patch the
NoDefaultCurrentDirectoryInExePath variable, instead of
unittest.mock.patch.dict. The latter set unrelated environment
variables to the original (same) values via os.environ, and as a
result, their names were all converted to upper-case on Windows.

Because only environment variables that are actually set through
os.environ have their names upcased, the only variable whose name
should be upcased now is NoDefaultCurrentDirectoryInExePath, which
should be fine (it has a single established use/meaning in Windows,
where it's treated case-insensitively as environment variables in
Windows *usually* are).
