Bug Description

A deployment can be neutralised by the existence of OpenStack-related environment variables that may be set on the host (e.g. OS_AUTH_URL). As I do not believe a snap can alter the host variables can MicroStack at least detect them and offer guidance to the user?

Updating bug subject. OS_ environment variables from the user's shell are carried over into the microstack.openstack command. This can lead to situations where microstack.openstack commands fail with esoteric errors. While this is partly behavior expected by the openstack commandline client, it can possibly be guarded against.

summary: - Host environment variables are not considered

Thanks for filing this Peter. Saving/restoring env vars around CLI calls makes sense and should be a fairly simple change.
