[darcs-devel] [issue2121] Allow the ability to set and override environment variables from a config file.

ok, so we could _darcs/prefs/env and .darcs/env to hold these settings, 
with the format
DARCS_EDITOR xxxx

etc

I'm not entirely convinced about the priority - I guess if the user set 
variables in their global environment they would want the darcs settings 
to take priority, but if they set them on the command line they would 
probably want those to take priority. People probably don't want to set 
things both in the global environment and in the global darcs config, so 
I argue the precedence should be (lowest -> highest): global darcs 
config; repo config; environment variables
