Investigate environment variable "MASTER_PORT" in spawn plugin  #11965

@awaelchli

Description

@awaelchli

Proposed refactor

Investigate if setting the MASTER_PORT environment variable is needed here:
https://github.com/PyTorchLightning/pytorch-lightning/blob/4397f2d7481aad5d8a476e201d6a28daea5c4aa5/pytorch_lightning/strategies/launchers/spawn.py#L67

From comment by @carmocca

Motivation

We would like to rely on the cluster environment completely if possible, and not leak logic for specific variables.

Pitch

Remove and see if tests fail.
