Johnathan Corgan c2fb12d997 sidecar test: clear node-a peer env so it does not join the public mesh ...

The sidecar chain test intends node-a to be a standalone root ("node-a: no
outbound peers"), but started node-a without clearing FIPS_PEER_*, so it
inherited the external peer default from testing/sidecar/.env (a real public
mesh node, test-us01.fips.network) and auto-connected to the live mesh. The
whole a-b-c chain then attached under an external root, inflating tree depth and
breaking test isolation; this also produced spurious multi-hop failures.

Set FIPS_PEER_NPUB/FIPS_PEER_ADDR empty for node-a, matching how node-b and
node-c already get explicit inline peers, so the suite is hermetic regardless of
the .env default. Validated against the unmodified .env: node-a comes up with a
single link to node-b, no external attachment, multi-hop passes 18/18.
