Test: prune old LA based on ENV variable

[jishnub]

This PR prunes the old LinearAlgebra module based on an environment variable that is set in .ci/run_tests.jl. Hopefully, this would mean that tests that are being run without this environment variable would run as expected without precompilation issues.

The goal of this PR is to ensure that when julia is being built with the master branch of LinearAlgebra, the tests would work without the need for pruning (i.e., we want to fix the test failures in JuliaLang/julia#58242).

This would also mean that to run the tests locally, one would need to set the JULIA_PRUNE_OLD_LA environment variable to true.

I thought about disabling this only when we run on Julia buildkite so that includeing a test file would still work. But I am not sure if there is a good env variable to look at there?

[KristofferC]

Anyway, at least for now, using an env variable here is better than not I think. But it would be good to perhaps have a blurb in the README of how to test linear algebra locally then?

[jishnub]

I think the current state of the PR should resolve the issue. I am able to build julia with the latest commit and run the test files directly.
