clarified docs for env-vars and config files

More links between sections are added. It should bring all documentation together in a more coherent manner.

The Environemnt variables section has been cleaned. Now there are not 3 random examples which might have confused users to only suspect that those 3 examples where the only available ones. Now this section clarifies how any CLI-option is specified through an env var, and clarifies that the shell example, is an example.

This was born out of the discussion in #13043, hence the branch reference.

Great! Looks complete to me!

So what is missing here, could this be helped through?

TBH, I don't know. You'll have to address Paul's feedback about removing the platform specific stuff: https://github.com/pypa/pip/pull/13050#discussion_r1904005131.

If you're interested in filing a new PR, you are welcome to, although I understand if you aren't interested. I'll close this out now since it has been a while without any activity (and this isn't close to be mergeable, unfortunately) but let us know if you want to pick this up.
