Subject: [PATCH] Support non-persistent configuration with DELTACHAT_* env
 #3986

This way we can test some recently added config options that we don't want to expose in UI like
DeleteToTrash or SignUnencrypted. Note that persistent config options like DeleteToTrash should
remain anyway because they allow fine-grained (per-account) control. Having them matters for tests
also.
