doc: restore environment variables page
This was moved into the application development guide in commit bf9ceac2 ("doc: move env_vars into application development"). That commit claimed the following rationale: No reason why we are duplicating this information in a standalone guide when we already talk about env variables in the application developer guide. A github comment later says the duplication was in "Important build system variables": https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/zephyr/pull/34364#discussion_r616646517 This is incorrect and a misreading of the application development guide. The application development guide is talking about **cmake** variables. These are not the same thing at all as **environment** variables; treating them as if they are the same is simply wrong and misleading, especially the "option 4" part that is really about CMake variables, not environment variables. In fact, the separate environment variables page was created for a reason, which was to have a single place to explain to people unused to managing their environment how things work, without cluttering things up for people who already understand this. There is nothing wrong with small, self-contained guides and in fact I would argue they are a good thing. Fix this confusing situation by restoring the original, separate page and extricating the portions of it that are not related to environment variables.
