Add command "brew --env"

"brew --env" will set up a build environment and then dump certain ENV
variables (CC, CXX, LD, CFLAGS, CXXFLAGS, MAKEFLAGS).

If any of CC, CXX, LD are symlinks, now also output the target compiler.
(Typically these will be symlinks from eg /usr/bin/cc to /usr/bin/gcc-4.2).

This is a diagnostic command which may be merged into --config, turned
into an external command, or removed if it doesn't turn out to be useful.
