> jpackage app laucnher will expand environment variables in .cfg files.
>
> Previously jpackage app launcher only replaced `$APPDIR`, `$BINDIR`, and
> `$ROOTDIR` tokens with the corresponding path values. With this patch, any
> environment variable can be expanded. The syntax is shell-like
> `$ENV_VAR_NAME` or `${ENV_VAR_NAME}`. If `$ENV_VAR_NAME` syntax is used, the
> variable name stops at the first character outside of `[a-zA-Z0-9_]`
> character range. If `${ENV_VAR_NAME}` syntax is used, the variable name stops
> at the first `}` character after `${` substring. E.g:
> | String | Variables | Variable Values | Expanded String | Note |
> | -------- | ------- |------- |------- |------- |
> | <pre>Welcome $USER!</pre> | <pre>USER</pre> | <pre>USER=John</pre> |
> <pre>Welcome John!</pre> ||
> | <pre>Welcome $USER!</pre> | <pre>USER</pre> | <pre>not set</pre> |
> <pre>Welcome $USER!</pre> | Unset variables are not expanded. |
> | <pre>Welcome $USER2</pre> | <pre>USER2</pre> | <pre>USER2=John</pre> |
> <pre>Welcome John!</pre> ||
> | <pre>Welcome ${USER}2!</pre> | <pre>USER</pre> | <pre>USER=John</pre> |
> <pre>Welcome John2!</pre> ||
> | <pre>Welcome $USER-2!</pre> | <pre>USER</pre> | <pre>USER=John</pre> |
> <pre>Welcome John-2!</pre> ||
> | <pre>Welcome ${USER-2}!</pre> | <pre>USER-2</pre> |
> <pre>USER-2=John</pre> | <pre>Welcome John!</pre> | `USER-2` is likely to be
> an invalid env variable name, but jpackage launcher is not validating names. |
