fix(bootstrap_cache): improve test isolation and env var handling

* Fix test_safe_peers_env to verify env var peer inclusion
  - Assert presence of env var peer in total peer set
  - Remove incorrect assertion of exact peer count

* Fix test_network_contacts_fallback isolation
  - Enable test_network mode to prevent interference from cache/endpoints
  - Verify exact peer count from mock server

* Improve from_args implementation
  - Add environment variable peer handling before other sources
  - Use empty cache path in test network mode
  - Prevent cache file operations in test network mode

These changes ensure proper test isolation and correct handling of peers
from different sources (env vars, args, cache, endpoints) across different
modes (normal, test network, local).
