OK, but does the 'prove_check' macro need similar adjustments?

After some digging in the git history, it looks like it's there because
of Noah's c09850992, which makes me wonder whether 017_shm.pl requires
it.  If so, it'd make more sense perhaps for that one test script
to set up the environment variable than to have it cluttering every TAP
run.

(In any case, please don't push this till after beta2 is tagged.
We don't need possible test instability right now.)
