all string fields containing an environment variable like ${FOO} will
be resolved
supported format ${FOO}, ${FOO:-bar} and ${FOO-bar} to allow default
values if variable is not present in environment
add --no-env argument for CLI to disable the feature which is enabled
by default

Resolves: #546

This looks great. And tests too! Thank you so much for taking the time to do this when all you needed was the database password from the environment. Clever use of the negative look-ahead for an escaped $.. I wouldn't have thought of that. Heads up that I may rename the --no-env flag for consistency with other borgmatic flags. And I can write up some documentation when I get a chance.
