trace2: teach Git to log environment variables

Via trace2, Git can already log interesting config parameters (see the
trace2_cmd_list_config() function). However, this can grant an
incomplete picture because many config parameters also allow overrides
via environment variables.

To allow for more complete logs, we add a new trace2_cmd_list_env_vars()
function and supporting implementation, modeled after the pre-existing
config param logging implementation.
