[PATCH v3 3/4] trace.c: print env vars in trace_run_command()

From

Occasionally submodule code could execute new commands with GIT_DIR set to some submodule. GIT_TRACE prints just the command line which makes it hard to tell that it's not really executed on this repository.

Print modified env variables (compared to parent environment) in this case. Actually only modified or new variables (*) are printed. Variable deletion is suppressed because they are often used to clean up repo-specific variables that git passes around between processes. When submodule code executes commands on another repo, it clears all these variables, _many_ of these, that make the output really noisy.

(*) sort of. More on this in the next patch.
