src/sage/env.py: canonicalize paths in a test

A test in sage.env is running sage in a subprocess to compare the
values of SAGE_ROOT and SAGE_LOCAL. It does the comparison as strings,
however, and can fail:

  File "src/sage/env.py", line 14, in sage.env
  Failed example:
      out == repr((SAGE_ROOT, SAGE_LOCAL))   # long time
  Expected:
      True
  Got:
      False

This despite the fact that both values are equivalent:

  sage: out
  "('/home/mjo/src/sage.git/src/sage/../..', '/usr')"
  sage: repr((SAGE_ROOT, SAGE_LOCAL))
  "('/home/mjo/src/sage.git', '/usr')"

We update the test to canonicalize the paths within the subprocess,
and output only "True" or "False" instead.
