Due to a race condition in Docker[1], we need to disable extraction
using unpigz. Currently this is done in the image extraction code,
however this code is multi-threaded. Setenv is not thread safe in C[2],
so even thought it is safe in go[3], there's a small risk if there's
any C threads running.

It's safer to just set this env variable once when oc starts, rather
every time the layerByEntry function is called.
