Adds support for setting env variables for the Mattermost runtime

If running GitLab with Mattermost behind a corporate internet proxy we need a way to set the corresponding environment variables for the Mattermost runtime environment in /etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb, e.g.

mattermost['env'] = {"http_proxy" => "my_proxy", "https_proxy" => "my_proxy", "no_proxy" => "my_no_proxy"}

This implementation is similar to the gitlab-workhorse one in commit 32e19c33.

@marin this looks fine to me, over to you for review. I don't think this prevents us from moving forward with https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/omnibus-gitlab/issues/2377.

@twk3 It actually is preventing us from merging this at the moment. We should reach a clear agreement in #2377 before we add more changes. Thanks for your contribution @tjuerge, but we will have to put it on hold until we resolve some outstanding issue. It is likely that your change will go in in some shape or form though :)
