[file configuration] Clarify environment variable substitution is not recursive. #3894

@marcalff

Description

@marcalff

The spec for environment variable substitution, in file_configuration, should clarify that substitution is not recursive.

For example:

export PING='${PONG}'
export PONG='${PING}'
some_yaml_node: ${PING}

should evaluate as string ${PONG}, and not call getenv() on PONG.
