*python* errors no longer appear when `SUDO_USER` and `USER` variables are not set
Previously, when executing in spare environments that do not have `SUDO_USER` or `USER` environment variables set, a number of *python* errors appeared. With this update, undefined `SUDO_USER` and `USER` variables are handled correctly, and the errors no longer appear.
Description of problem:
The hwcert realtime test fails with a python traceback:
TypeError: cannot concatenate 'str' and 'NoneType' objects
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
redhat-certification-2.3-20160223.el7.noarch
redhat-certification-hardware-1.7.1-20160210.el7.noarch
How reproducible:
realiably on at least one test system
Steps to Reproduce:
1. run the hwcert realtime test
2. check logs or debug output
3.
Actual results:
crash with traceback:

Expected results:
test runs to completion and succeeds
Additional info:
The above patch adds the local function get_user_name() which handles empty environment variables SUDO_USER and USER. This patch modifies the original patch and will be available in the next build of rteval (2.12).
