What this fixes

make test unsets SOPS_AGE_KEY_FILE and SOPS_AGE_KEY_CMD to isolate the test environment, but the age keysource reads four other environment variables that are not unset: SOPS_AGE_KEY, SOPS_AGE_RECIPIENT, SOPS_AGE_SSH_PRIVATE_KEY_FILE, and SOPS_AGE_SSH_PRIVATE_KEY_CMD.

When a developer has any of these set in their shell, TestMasterKey_loadIdentities fails spuriously. The subtests assert an exact unusedLocations count, so any inherited age variable throws the count off, and the SSH variants additionally try to open or run the inherited key. The reported symptom (#1990) is:

failed to open file: open /etc/ssh/ssh_host_ed25519_key: permission denied

which happens because a developer's SOPS_AGE_SSH_PRIVATE_KEY_FILE leaks into the test run.

The change

Unset the full set of age environment variables the test target intends to isolate, matching the existing unset ...; unset ...; style already on that line:

unset SOPS_AGE_KEY; unset SOPS_AGE_KEY_FILE; unset SOPS_AGE_KEY_CMD; unset SOPS_AGE_RECIPIENT; unset SOPS_AGE_SSH_PRIVATE_KEY_FILE; unset SOPS_AGE_SSH_PRIVATE_KEY_CMD; LANG=en_US.UTF-8 $(GO) test $(GO_TEST_FLAGS) ./...

I went beyond just SOPS_AGE_SSH_PRIVATE_KEY_FILE because SOPS_AGE_SSH_PRIVATE_KEY_CMD is the symmetric sibling and produces the identical class of failure, and SOPS_AGE_KEY / SOPS_AGE_RECIPIENT break the same exact-count assertions if inherited. The six variables here are exactly the ones the age package looks up in age/keysource.go. Happy to narrow this to only SOPS_AGE_SSH_PRIVATE_KEY_FILE if you would prefer the minimal change.

How I verified

With SOPS_AGE_SSH_PRIVATE_KEY_FILE pointing at a non-age file, go test -run TestMasterKey_loadIdentities ./age/ reproduces the failure from the issue. Running the same package after the unsets in this PR passes. I also confirmed SOPS_AGE_SSH_PRIVATE_KEY_CMD triggers the same failure, which is why it is unset here too. CI runs the suite through make test, so it picks up this isolation as well.

Fixes #1990

The make test target unset SOPS_AGE_KEY_FILE and SOPS_AGE_KEY_CMD to
isolate the test environment, but the age package also reads
SOPS_AGE_KEY, SOPS_AGE_RECIPIENT, SOPS_AGE_SSH_PRIVATE_KEY_FILE and
SOPS_AGE_SSH_PRIVATE_KEY_CMD. A developer with any of these set in their
shell gets spurious failures in TestMasterKey_loadIdentities, because the
subtests assert an exact unusedLocations count and the SSH variants also
attempt to open or run the inherited key, for example:

    open /etc/ssh/ssh_host_ed25519_key: permission denied

Unset the full set of age env vars the target intends to isolate so the
test run is hermetic regardless of the developer's environment.

Fixes #1990

### Release Notes

<details>
<summary>getsops/sops (getsops/sops)</summary>

### [`v3.13.2`](https://github.com/getsops/sops/releases/tag/v3.13.2)

[Compare Source](getsops/sops@v3.13.1...v3.13.2)

#### Installation

To install `sops`, download one of the pre-built binaries provided for your platform from the artifacts attached to this release.

For instance, if you are using Linux on an AMD64 architecture:

```shell

# Download the binary
curl -LO https://github.com/getsops/sops/releases/download/v3.13.2/sops-v3.13.2.linux.amd64

# Move the binary in to your PATH
mv sops-v3.13.2.linux.amd64 /usr/local/bin/sops

# Make the binary executable
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/sops
```

##### Verify checksums file signature

The checksums file provided within the artifacts attached to this release is signed using [Cosign](https://docs.sigstore.dev/cosign/overview/) with GitHub OIDC. To validate the signature of this file, run the following commands:

```shell

# Download the checksums file, certificate and signature
curl -LO https://github.com/getsops/sops/releases/download/v3.13.2/sops-v3.13.2.checksums.txt
curl -LO https://github.com/getsops/sops/releases/download/v3.13.2/sops-v3.13.2.checksums.sigstore.json

# Verify the checksums file
cosign verify-blob sops-v3.13.2.checksums.txt \
  --bundle sops-v3.13.2.checksums.sigstore.json \
  --certificate-identity-regexp=https://github.com/getsops \
  --certificate-oidc-issuer=https://token.actions.githubusercontent.com
```

##### Verify binary integrity

To verify the integrity of the downloaded binary, you can utilize the checksums file after having validated its signature:

```shell

# Verify the binary using the checksums file
sha256sum -c sops-v3.13.2.checksums.txt --ignore-missing
```

##### Verify artifact provenance

The [SLSA provenance](https://slsa.dev/provenance/v0.2) of the binaries, packages, and SBOMs can be found within the artifacts associated with this release. It is presented through an [in-toto](https://in-toto.io/) link metadata file named `sops-v3.13.2.intoto.jsonl`. To verify the provenance of an artifact, you can utilize the [`slsa-verifier`](https://github.com/slsa-framework/slsa-verifier#artifacts) tool:

```shell

# Download the metadata file
curl -LO  https://github.com/getsops/sops/releases/download/v3.13.2/sops-v3.13.2.intoto.jsonl

# Verify the provenance of the artifact
slsa-verifier verify-artifact <artifact> \
  --provenance-path sops-v3.13.2.intoto.jsonl \
  --source-uri github.com/getsops/sops \
  --source-tag v3.13.2
```

#### Container Images

The `sops` binaries are also available as container images, based on Debian (slim) and Alpine Linux. The Debian-based container images include any dependencies which may be required to make use of certain key services, such as GnuPG, AWS KMS, Azure Key Vault, and Google Cloud KMS. The Alpine-based container images are smaller in size, but do not include these dependencies.

These container images are available for the following architectures: `linux/amd64` and `linux/arm64`.

##### GitHub Container Registry

- `ghcr.io/getsops/sops:v3.13.2`
- `ghcr.io/getsops/sops:v3.13.2-alpine`

##### Quay.io

- `quay.io/getsops/sops:v3.13.2`
- `quay.io/getsops/sops:v3.13.2-alpine`

##### Verify container image signature

The container images are signed using [Cosign](https://docs.sigstore.dev/cosign/overview/) with GitHub OIDC. To validate the signature of an image, run the following command:

```shell
cosign verify ghcr.io/getsops/sops:v3.13.2 \
  --certificate-identity-regexp=https://github.com/getsops \
  --certificate-oidc-issuer=https://token.actions.githubusercontent.com \
  -o text
```

##### Verify container image provenance

The container images include [SLSA provenance](https://slsa.dev/provenance/v0.2) attestations. For more information around the verification of this, please refer to the [`slsa-verifier` documentation](https://github.com/slsa-framework/slsa-verifier#containers).

#### Software Bill of Materials

The Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) for each binary is accessible within the artifacts enclosed with this release. It is presented as an [SPDX](https://spdx.dev/) JSON file, formatted as `<binary>.spdx.sbom.json`.
