config: Adjust process.env to immediately punt to POSIX
The uppercase letter / digit / underscore restriction is just for
"variables used by the utilities in the Shell and Utilities volume of
IEEE Std 1003.1-2001".
Copying over some POSIX wording and then linking to POSIX didn't seem
like much gain. Just point people at POSIX and let them read about
the name=value definition, charset suggestions, etc. there.
Also link specifically to chapter 8 section 1 (instead of just chapter
8).
Rob Dolin had suggested "platform-appropriate" wording [1], but it
seems like Visual Studio 2015 supports an environment-variable array
with the same semantics [2], and providing an explicit
"platform-appropriate" wiggle seems like it's adding useless
complication.
