hi, qstn re `command.remote.Command()` using python. Ho do I pass environment variables?

for example:
```install_datadog_agent = command.remote.Command(
    "install_datadog_agent",
    connection=connection,
    environment={
        "DD_AGENT_MAJOR_VERSION": "7",
        "DD_SITE": "<http://datadoghq.com|datadoghq.com>",
    },
    create='echo "the version is ${DD_AGENT_MAJOR_VERSION}"',
    update='echo "the version is: ${DD_AGENT_MAJOR_VERSION}"',
    opts=pulumi.ResourceOptions(depends_on=[server]),
)```
outputs
```Outputs:
  ~ catConfigStdout: 
      - the version is 
      + the version is: ```
Instead of the DD_AGENT_MAJOR_VERSION

That all looks correct. Does the environment work if you use the local command? `command.local.Command`?

IIRC the environment variables are passed as SSH environment variables, so your remote host must be configured with `AcceptEnv` for those environment variables. Is that correct?

They would be passed as SSH environment variables yes

Ubuntu by default accepts only: `AcceptEnv LANG LC_*`. Anything else would have to be configured in `/etc/sshd_config`.

I'll raise an issue to update our docs with this, it's a useful note to point out.

Turns out we already have an issue for this <https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi-command/issues/48>
