Add support for global environment variables that apply across all agents

[kvokka]

When the user sets the env vars in Settings -> General -> Shell Configuration, these vars are not forwarded to the Agent. To make them working it's required to forward them to each agent. It kill the automation.
The issue was not tested against other tools.

For my setup, these settings are essential

Using version 0.15-RC

Yes they only got added to the terminal sessions.
I got a local fix for this issue, will test and PR it.

Actually - it did not need a fix.
The settings you used are for Shell sessions. If you set the Environment Variables on the Agent, they will pass, i just tried it.

Rightclick Agent -> Edit Agent... ->

There's your Environment Variables per Agent setting.
I just validated on the latest binary, here's my Agent's output:

- Value found: `NEW_VAR=test`

Exact line from the output:
NEW_VAR=test

Yes, it works, but it will require setting these settings manually for each agent. Since I'm using it with the proxy, I have to feed these settings to each agent trough GUI, instead of setting it globally.
And it's very inconvenient.

Probably I misunderstood the usage of Settings -> General -> Shell Configuration, since I felt that it points to global ENV settings.

Let me rephrase the question then - how can I set common env variables for all agents in 1 place?

there is no way currently, but perhaps what we should do is exactly support the path that you took. any env vars added to the shell section (and we can update the docs both inline in the settings modal and the docs/) would apply globally across all agents.

Will PR the fix i already started. :)
