[SUREFIRE-1068] forkNumber in systemPropertyVariables requires prefix

Description

The ${surefire.forkNumber} placeholder cannot be used alone in a systemPropertyVariable. The workaround is to prefix the value.

For example, this doesn't work (the surefire.forkNumber system property does not exist when running the test).

  <systemPropertyVariables>
    <surefire.forkNumber>${surefire.forkNumber}</surefire.forkNumber>
  </systemPropertyVariables>

But this does:

  <systemPropertyVariables>
    <surefire.forkNumber>0${surefire.forkNumber}</surefire.forkNumber>
  </systemPropertyVariables>

(note the leading 0)
