Bug Description

This is either a code bug or a documentation bug. A colleague found that his bzr configuration that relied on setting his email via an environment variable had stopped working after the upgrade to Breezy.

The user guide documents that the user can set their email address via the BZR_EMAIL environment variable, the same as bzr supported:

https://code.breezy-vcs.org/breezy/trunk/view/7500/doc/en/user-guide/setting_up_email.txt#L33

However, the code instead looks for BRZ_EMAIL:

https://code.breezy-vcs.org/breezy/trunk/view/7500/breezy/config.py#L538

If Breezy is intended to be a drop-in replacement for bzr, then I would expect it to respect the old tool's environment variables. Is there actually any benefit to renaming this environment variable?
