[rfc] environment variables: why BZREMAIL but not BZR_EMAIL

I wonder why almost all bzr-specific environment variables have prefix
'BZR_' (with underscore between BZR and next word) and only BZREMAIL has
different naming rule.

Let's see:

BZR_EDITOR
BZR_PLUGIN_PATH
BZR_HOME
BZR_DEBUG

But:

BZREMAIL

I think having the same prefix for all bzr-specific names is easier for
users to remember.

I propose to check both BZR_EMAIL and BZREMAIL in config.py and mark
BZREMAIL as deprecated in the next releases. Patch attached.
