Current evaluation

Request to add env configuration to base plugin so environment variables can be set in yaml. Feature is already available via the part-level build-environment key in craft-parts, making this obsolete.

Suggested action: close stale

Reason: The issue is ~10 years old with zero comments or maintainer interaction. The requested capability (setting environment variables in yaml) is already implemented as the part-level build-environment property in craft-parts, documented in part_properties.rst and used extensively across plugin docs and tests.

Issue body

I keep finding I need to have environment variables set before my build tools will behave. Rather than do this for each and every plugin, I think it would be worth while adding this to base plugin. It already has an env() method, so we just need to extend the schema so the environment variables can be specified in the yaml.
