Add $env.NU_LOG_LEVEL to Special Variables
#1976

Is it fitting to add a standard library special variable to the list of special variables?
I think it is.
It's a good cross-reference to the availability of the standard library and this submodule in particular.
In this case, it's also a good cross-discoverability for --log-level.
Or should this list of special variables not include the standard library [that has to be included manually for use]?

I was think about whether there is a good, fitting qualifier for Nushell's own commands. In the end I chose not to add any qualifier, and only call the custom commands custom commands as a differentiation (like they are called in the docs).

| The [standard library](/book/standard_library.md) offers logging in `std/log`. The `NU_LOG_LEVEL` environment variable is used to define the log level being used. | |||

Is this - with the mention and reference of standard library - sufficient to clarify the conditional nature of it? That it is not available in a fresh shell session?
