These changes add support for accessing runtime information inside of
policies. In some cases, policies need to access environment variables
or configuration that OPA was booted with. These changes add a built-in
function that allows policies to gain access to this information. The
built-in function itself is relatively trivial. Most of the required
changes were plumbing the runtime information from the entrypoint down
into the evaluation engine. The alternative would have been to introduce
a global variable containing this information however that would be have
been harder to reason about in library integrations.
Fixes #420
