OK. So after looking at this a bit, the reason PAGER and PSQL_PAGER don't cause us any problems in the test environment is that they are not honored unless isatty(fileno(stdin)) && isatty(fileno(stdout)). It seems to me that it's a bug that there is no such check before using PSQL_WATCH_PAGER. Is there actually any defensible reason for that?
Theoretically, we can write tests for these features, and then stdout, stdin may not be tty.
Except for testing, using pager in non-interactive mode makes no sense.

I think we do need to clear out all three variables in Cluster::interactive_psql. But our regular psql tests shouldn't be at risk here.
