[notmuch] [PATCH] Add ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES section to the man page

Briefly describe the NOTMUCH_CONFIG variable there.
---

  It turns out that it is documented in notmuch help setup, but I
  missed it.

  I'm not sure how to phrase it to fit at the end of notmuch help,
  suggestions welcome. For now I added a traditional ENVIRONMENT
  VARIABLES section to the man page.

  Thanks,

  James
