Make features global configuration proof

gitlab-qa-bot requested to merge github/fork/pirj/make-tests-global-configuration-proof into master

Created by: pirj

If a ~/.config/rspec/options file contains the following:

--color
--profile 2
--format progress
--require pry

a number of features fail, since options are picked up and used by the code under test.

Setting XDG_CONFIG_HOME to a directory that does exist skips loading the global configuration.

NOTE: Unfortunately, this doesn't fix the issue for configuration stored in ~/.rspec. My advice is to move it over to ~/.config/rspec/options.
