[Bug 5606] clear_headers -> many spamc/spamd tests fail

http://issues.apache.org/SpamAssassin/show_bug.cgi?id=5606

I can confirm this in branch/3.2 and in trunk.

The problem appears to be that spamd reads ~/.spamassassin/user_prefs when it
starts up even if the -x option is telling it not to read per-user config files
for each message.

SATest.pm uses -x with spamd and -p with spamassassin to prevent contaminating
the tests with user's actual preference file. Unfortunately, that isn't what
spamd -x means. We either need to decide that spamd should not read the
user_prefs file of the userid it is started up under, or else should add an
option that does the same thing as spamassassin -p.

I think that the former makes more sense, since spamd is already reading the
various *.pre files for system configuration, and each child can read the
appropriate user's user_prefs. It is confusing to have a base user_prefs file
and then read a per-user user_prefs file on top of it.
