Rather than the "" empty string for off I suggest an explicit string
that makes it clear what the meaning is.  PYTHONHASHSEED="disabled"
perhaps.

Agreed, if we can have a single env var that is preferred.  It is more
obvious that the PYTHONHASHSEED env var. has no effect when it is set
to a special value rather than when it is set to something but it is
configured to be ignored by a _different_ env var.
