This change will cause that the `OSCAP_BOOTC_BUILD` environment variable will be passed from the external environment to the environment of SCE checks. The outcome is that the `OSCAP_BOOTC_BUILD` environment variable can be used inside SCE checks to differentiate between code that is supposed to run only during building a bootable container image, the code that can't run during building a bootable container image and code that can run in any environment.

This adds a new mechanism that allow content authors to control the execution of SCE checks depending on environment. They can use the `environment` key to disable running their SCE check during a build of a bootable container image, or on contrary, disable running the SCE check outside of the bootable container image build environment. We need to distinguish generic SCE checks from SCE checks that are meant to be executed only during the "podman build" phase of the bootable containers. We need to have a way to specify that some code is special for this environment. This way, we will prevent using SCE checks that require DBUS or other special SCE checks. Also, it will prevent using SCE checks that are designed only for the bootable containers to be executed in other scenarios. This change depends on this OpenSCAP PR: OpenSCAP/openscap#2189
