Require request_insecure_environment to be called from the mod's main scope

Previously you could steal a secure environment from a trusted mod by wrapping
request_insecure_environment with some code like this:

local rie_cp = minetest.request_insecure_environment
local stolen_ie
function minetest.request_insecure_environment()
	local ie = rie_cp()
	stolen_ie = stolen_ie or ie
	return ie
end
