If environmentVariables field is misspecified, Chronos returns a 500 on posting #389

I misunderstood the documentation and set my environmentVariables in my job JSON as follows:

"environmentVariables" : [ { "FOO" : "bar" } ]

Instead of the correct:

"environmentVariables" : [ { "name" : "FOO", "value" : "bar" } ]

There was no real error message, with the following unhelpful text being returned by httpie after POSTing:

HTTP/1.1 500 Server Error
Cache-Control: must-revalidate,no-cache,no-store
Content-Length: 1290
Content-Type: text/html;charset=ISO-8859-1

<html>

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=ISO-8859-1"/>
<title>Error 500 Server Error</title>

<p>Problem accessing /scheduler/iso8601. Reason:

It'd be nice if this could at least point to the misconfigured field.

Thanks for the docs fix @ssk2! I guess we can keep this issue open due to the lack of informative error message.
