Implement review comments from @dbalexandre.

- Don't define "allowed environment variables" in two places.
- Dispatch to different arities of `Popen.open` without an if/else block.
- Use `described_class` instead of explicitly stating the class name within a
- spec.
- Remove `git_environment_variables_validator_spec` and keep the validation inline.
