* feat(EurekaClient.js): Allow an independent EUREKA_ENV env variable.

This allows developers to select whatever Eureka env/config they need
without having to rely on NODE_ENV.
For example, we can set EUREKA_ENV to 'test', but keep
NODE_ENV='production' for all the middleware and components in our
library.

-The Eureka client searches for the YAML file `eureka-client.yml` in the current working directory. It further searches for environment specific overrides in the environment specific YAML files (e.g. `eureka-client-test.yml`). The environment is typically `development` or `production`, and is determined by the `NODE_ENV` environment variable.

+The Eureka client searches for the YAML file `eureka-client.yml` in the current working directory. It further searches for environment specific overrides in the environment specific YAML files (e.g. `eureka-client-test.yml`). The environment is typically `development` or `production`, and is determined by environment variables in this order: `EUREKA_ENV`, if present, or `NODE_ENV`, if present. Otherwise it defaults to `development`. The options passed to the constructor overwrite any values that are set in configuration files.
 
 You can configure a custom directory to load the configuration files from by specifying a `cwd` option in the object passed to the `Eureka` constructor.
