Extend Usage to print values about envconfig HOT 4 CLOSED

I think @AlekSi might be trying to solve the problem of "What the heck actually got applied from the env vars I passed" because it can be challenging to figure out which were actually picked up. I wrote a thing which we use to solve that: https://github.com/relistan/rubberneck

Configure your app with envconfig, and then on startup have it dump the config it's running from to the logs. You could also do this from a CLI switch if needed. I find it useful. Maybe it solves this problem and it doesn't need to be solved in envconfig. You could alternatively dump a TOML or YAML file from your config struct if you don't like Rubberneck.

This seems like a debugging use case? I can understand applications needing to:

1. parse configuration from the environment
2. print helpful output documenting supported environment vars and their types

I'm trying to wrap my head around the need for this or find precedent anywhere else. It would be like if someapp -t -a -N 2 -h printed help output informing the user that they activated the "t" and "a" flags, and that the "N" value is 2.

@relistan that package looks great! I agree it's not really the job of envconfig -- I'll be pointing people to rubberneck next time this comes up.

Thanks @teepark!
