Define environment variables without the NX_ prefix

[pax-k]

I'm using a React dependency which expects a specific environment variable name to be set. Having to prefix with NX_ won't work. Tried something like: (storybook configured inside an nx react ui lib)

    "storybook-with-custom-env-var": {
      "executor": "nx:run-commands",
      "options": {
        "command": "SOME_SPECIFIC_VAR=true nx run libs-ui:storybook"
      }
    }

Tried also to create a separate app and placed the var inside .env, but still not present if not prefixed with NX_.

Also it would be cool to be able to define environment variables in the project.json:

    "storybook": {
      "executor": "@nrwl/storybook:storybook",
      "options": {
        "uiFramework": "@storybook/react",
        "port": 4400,
        "configDir": "packages/libs/ui/.storybook"
      },
      "configurations": {
        "ci": {
          "quiet": true,
          "env": ["SOME_SPECIFIC_VAR=true"]
        }
      }
    },

Another solution is to leverage pure yarn workspaces and integrate all the generators with in the packaged-based model. Maybe after the Lerna takeover things will go in this direction.
