selftest: remove prototypes from some subroutine templates

My understanding is that because these are object methods, the prototypes
actually were not providing the checking benefits [see PERLSUB(1) (section
"Prototypes")] -- this is evidenced by the fact that some of the prototypes I
removed actually had the wrong number of arguments!
Now that the subroutines are being dynamically called by function references,
the checking also appears not to apply [see the same source].
There was also a more concrete reason: the setup code will automatically set
up multiple environment dependencies and pass each of their vars as an
individual parameter. Accomplishing this was [seemingly] impossible with the
prototypes in place.
Additionally, there seems to be a consensus among perl devs that prototypes
are generally harmful: see this post (by my colleague) for example:
