Dockerfile ENV defines variables for both build and runtime. Stacker convert, converts ENV for build, but does not include runtime. Stacker uses "environment:" in yaml to define variables for runtime. So, include the ENV variables there so they will show up in the config when running the container.

#757
Steps:
Dockerfile contents:
FROM alpine AS mybase
ENV HELLO=hello!
ENV GOODBYE=goodbye!
RUN echo $HELLO &&
echo $GOODBYE
Converted stacker.yaml
mybase:
build_env:
arch: amd64

Testing done on this change:
CI
Manual:
Dockerfile contents:
FROM alpine AS mybase
ENV HELLO=hello!
ENV GOODBYE=goodbye!
RUN echo $HELLO &&
echo $GOODBYE
Converted stacker.yaml contents
mybase:
build_env:
arch: amd64
environment:
GOODBYE: goodbye!
HELLO: hello!
from:
type: docker
url: docker://alpine
run:
Using skopeo inspect,
"Env": [
"PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin",
"GOODBYE=goodbye!",
"HELLO=hello!"
]
Automation added to e2e:
None
Will this break upgrades or downgrades?
No
Does this PR introduce any user-facing change?:
Yes, but only for converted Dockerfiles. The resulting stacker.yaml file will now include an environment section if there were any ENVs in the Dockerfile. This will cause the image runtime to include the environment variables.
