QemuRunner: avoid tainting os.environ

That a utility function permanently changes the process environment is
bad style and leads to subtle, hard to debug problems.

For example, we had one oe-selftest which used runqemu() with an
override for DEPLOY_DIR_IMAGE. Another test then just called runCmd()
and ended up passing the wrong DEPLOY_DIR_IMAGE set earlier in
os.environ.

The approach used here is to pass the desired environment dict to the
launch() method as a new, optional parameter, which then gets passed
on to subproject.Popen(). The modified env variables do not get
logged, as before.
