Teknium b3b88a279b fix: prevent stale os.environ leak after clear_session_vars (#10304) (#10527)
After clear_session_vars() reset contextvars to their default (''),
get_session_env() treated the empty string as falsy and fell through
to os.environ — resurrecting stale HERMES_SESSION_* values from CLI
startup, cron, or previous sessions.  This broke session isolation
in the gateway where concurrent messages could see each other's
stale environment values.

Fix: use a sentinel (_UNSET) as the contextvar default instead of ''.
get_session_env() now checks 'value is not _UNSET' instead of
truthiness.  Three states are cleanly distinguished:

  - _UNSET (never set): fall back to os.environ (CLI/cron compat)
  - '' (explicitly cleared): return '' — no os.environ fallback
  - 'telegram' (actively set): return the value

clear_session_vars() now uses var.set('') instead of var.reset(token)
to mark vars as explicitly cleared rather than reverting to _UNSET.

Closes #10304
