docs: env var doc improvements (#8777)

## Summary

* Env docs now support anchors, which allows sending a link to someone
with a direct reference to an env var or cross-reference them in the
docs.
* Marked additional env vars as hidden from the docs due to their
internal use
* Updates some tests still using literals to use the static env vars

## Test Plan
