Yuriy Novostavskiy fb25ff44f1 add support of kubectl_local_env_vars (#698) (#702)
add support of kubectl_local_env_vars (#698)

SUMMARY
Support of local environmental variable that may be required to be set on Ansible Controller before the connection is set and may be used for kubectl command. This PR addressed for #698
The main idea is to have the support of  additional/extra local environmental variable that may be required for kubectl itself, i.e. for authorization in case of public clouds
ISSUE TYPE

Feature Pull Request

COMPONENT NAME
kubernetes.core.kubectl connection plugin
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
This PR attempts to implement local env support for the kubectl connection plugin that may be useful in case of using kubectl against public cloud kubernetes environment that uses some authorization (i.e. aws cli) additionally to kubeconfig file. More detail in #698
The output that shows that the connection plugin can use local environment variable for kubectl command (with some debug that used during development but removed then):
