 #4967 -- to completely disallow users to install Gap packages or configure
 anything in order to make the Sage build more isolated -- was short sited
 and should be reverted.

 Just revert it.  Sage can't and shouldn't protect its build against all
 possible user-level configuration on their system -- VM's or containers
 are better for doing that.

 Also #4967 makes it completely impossible for a user to install their own
 package and use a system-wide install of sage.
