[perl #126041] miniperl PP glob/Perl_start_glob() wipes all of %ENVand perlglob.exe proc can't start on VC 2005/WinXP

This is still an issue today with VC 2005 on WinXP.

I think the specific reason systemroot env var must be kept to start a VC 2005 compiled binary (automatically means that binary is SXS aware), the (WinXP but not newer) DLL loader when doing SXS passes string "%SystemRoot%\\WinSxS\\" to RtlExpandEnvironmentStrings_U() inside RtlpAssemblyStorageMapResolutionDefaultCallback. SystemRoot has to be defined or else the SXS code can't find the SXS directory where all the SXS tracked DLLs live.
