Mohammad Miadh Angkad 396ff569ca Fix PYTHONHOME inheritance when spawning different Python versions (#17821)
## Summary

Fixes #17814.

When a Python version installed by uv spawns another Python version via
subprocess (e.g., Python 3.12 spawning Python 3.13), the child process
would inherit the parent's `PYTHONHOME` environment variable. This
caused the child Python to load the wrong stdlib, resulting in errors
like `AssertionError: SRE module mismatch`.

The fix removes the check that prevented overwriting an inherited
`PYTHONHOME` value. Now the Windows trampoline always sets `PYTHONHOME`
to the correct directory for non-virtualenv Python installations,
ensuring each Python version uses its own stdlib.

## Test Plan

Tested manually using the reproduction script from the issue:

```
uv python install 3.12
uv python install 3.13

echo "from os import environ;print(environ['PYTHONHOME']);import re" > test.py
python3.12.exe -c "import subprocess; subprocess.run(['python3.13.exe', 'test.py'])"
```

Before: `AssertionError: SRE module mismatch`
After: Runs successfully with correct `PYTHONHOME` pointing to 3.13's
installation.
