Need to interpolate project/context environment values into the `environment:` of a docker executor

Tony Spataro
Right now, users cannot interpolate parameters into the environment stanza as follows:
docker:
- image: mysql:latest
- environment:
MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=<<context.MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD>>
It would be very helpful to be able to interpolate these (immutable, global) context and project secrets into the environment stanza. This would allow me to run secondary containers that require secrets.
I understand there are restrictions on when environment variables can be evaluated inside a config.yml -- however, I am not asking for general interpolation of environment variables, just secrets, which happen to be transmitted to jobs via the environment, but are really a separate concept.
