test case, sets env 0 and then runs a bash shell
SUMMARY
When launching a process with xdg-open via kio's systemd process launcher,
environment variables whose names are not made of [a-zA-Z0-9_]* are filtered to
fit systemd unit files[1]; but systemd has an additional restriction that
environment variables not start with digits[2]. If an environment variable like
"0a" is set, the process will fail to launch.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Set an environment variable starting with "0". (Ex: setenv.c)
2. Run xdg-open somefile.png
OBSERVED RESULT
kf.kio.gui: Failed to launch process as service: "app-firefox@[...].service"
"org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.InvalidArgs" "Invalid environment block."
EXPECTED RESULT
The environment should be filtered alongside other illegal systemd environment
variables.
