Octave already has the --norc option to prevent loading all system and
user startup files. I think what you're suggesting is covered by that.
If a user wants to run the test suite without any system or user
preferences changing behavior, they can run Octave with --norc.

If a certain test passes with --norc and fails without it, then we can
find the cause and fix that specific test.
