Error description

• A spwaned job by .runwait don't get step environment of calling
  step. MJC sets project environment and it should set or override
  if calling step contains envionment. It processes project
  environment but for calling step environment. This problem don't
  occur in inlined and chained. Perl engine and v7 don't have the
  problem.
  
  Reproduce steps;
  1. create 3 environment groups and add variables
  
       TEST-ENV-PRJ-LEVEL
           VAR1=PROJECT
           VAR2=PROJECT
           VAR3=PROJECT
  
       TEST-ENV-INLINE-LEVEL
           VAR2=INLINE
           VAR3=INLINE
  
       TEST_ENV-RUNWAIT-LEVEL
           VAR3=RUNWAIT
  
  2. Create 2 Libraries
      "L-TEST-INLINE"
               s_echo_vars_by_inline
                       echo ${VAR1}
                       echo ${VAR2}
                       echo ${VAR3}
               s_call_runwait         <--- set step level
  environment "TEST-ENV-INLINE-LEVEL"
                       echo ${VAR1}
                       echo ${VAR2}
                       echo ${VAR3}
                       .runwait
      "L-TEST-RUNWAIT"            <--- set project level
  environment "TEST_ENV-RUNWAIT-LEVEL"
               s_echo_vars_by_runwait
                       echo ${VAR1}
                       echo ${VAR2}
                       echo ${VAR3}
  
  3. Create a project with assignig selector
       "P-TEST-ENVIRONMENT"             <--- set project level
  environment "TEST-ENV-PRJ-LEVEL"
              s_echo_vars_by_project
                       echo ${VAR1}
                       echo ${VAR2}
                       echo ${VAR3}
              s_inline_lib                        <--- inline
  library "L-TEST-INLINE"
                       .sleep 0
  
     The spwaned job of  "L-TEST-RUNWAIT" is exptected to have
  below result;
              EXEC PROJECT
              EXEC INLINE
              EXEC RUNWAIT
  
     However, MJC gives below output;
              EXEC PROJECT
              EXEC PROJECT
              EXEC RUNWAIT
  
  *) V7 and Perl engine gives expected output with same project
  and environment.
  
  
  
  Workaround:
  N/A
