9ebb336 Fixed a bug in the initializers for the auth managers that produced a spurious warning message if you provide a cache handler and you set a value for the "SPOTIPY_CLIENT_USERNAME" environment variable.

📄 Description

If you have your username stored in the "SPOTIPY_CLIENT_USERNAME" environment variable and you create an auth manager and assign a cache handler to it like so (like you should):

auth_manager=SpotifyOAuth(
    scope=scope,
    cache_handler=CacheFileHandler()
)

Then you will get the following error message:

spotipy testing/spotipy/oauth2.py:333: UserWarning: A cache_handler has been specified along with a cache_path or username. The cache_path and username arguments will be ignored.
warnings.warn("A cache_handler has been specified along with a cache_path or " +

This error message should only appear if you pass the username directly to the initializer, not if you happen to have it stored in an environment variable.
