Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Fix test_run_with_command_flags on macOS BSD printenv

The test used printenv --version to check that dotenv run forwards flags.
GNU printenv accepts that flag; BSD printenv on macOS does not, so the
suite fails even though flag forwarding works. Use the current Python
interpreter's --version instead.

Fixes #708

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] test: check that dotenv run forwards a flag it defines
 itself

`dotenv run` has no `--version` option, so the pre-#607 code forwarded
it too and the test couldn't catch a regression. Forward `--help`
instead, which `run` would otherwise handle, and assert the exact argv
the command receives.
