Add environment variable for default profile

[rbu]

To use databricks in several projects from my development machine, I'm using profiles. However, it would be helpful if I could set an environment to change the profile that is chosen by default so I can more easily reuse commands (between prod and dev).

Example use:

$ databricks workspace ls --profile databricks-cloud-dev
Users
Shared
^^ existing behaviour

$ DATABRICKS_PROFILE="databricks-cloud-dev" databricks workspace ls 
Users
Shared
^^ desired behaviour

NB: aws cli supports this via the AWS_PROFILE variable

There appears to be an env var listed for precisely this purpose (link); however, this does not appear to work as of v0.16.2

DATABRICKS_CONFIG_PROFILE

@cbcoutinho Looks like they realized the mistake, as the reference to this string is gone from the page now.

That's a shame, now there's a discrepancy between how the databricks cli and tf provider read config files - one accepts a profile and the other requires the default profile with host and token.

At least now the docs are up to date

Yes, we'll eventually introduce DATABRICKS_CONF_PROFILE env var for this
