When using "strict_environment_mode=true", if the agent requests an environment that doesn't exist on the server, then the agent should fail the run without pluginsyncing or requesting a catalog. This is true for both server and agent specified environments.

Previously the agent skipped pluginsync, requested a catalog, the server redirected the agent to "production" and the agent compared the catalog's environment with the environment it requested. If those were mismatched it failed the run, but it was "too late".
