feat: support HELMFILE_* env vars for more global flags (#2606)
* feat: support more HELMFILE_* env vars as flag fallbacks

Adds env-var fallbacks for global flags, mirroring the existing
HELMFILE_ENVIRONMENT / HELMFILE_KUBE_CONTEXT pattern:

* --helm-binary       -> HELMFILE_HELM_BINARY
* --kustomize-binary  -> HELMFILE_KUSTOMIZE_BINARY
* --log-level         -> HELMFILE_LOG_LEVEL
* --debug             -> HELMFILE_DEBUG       (expecting "true" lower case)
* --quiet             -> HELMFILE_QUIET       (expecting "true" lower case)
* --no-color          -> HELMFILE_NO_COLOR    (expecting "true" lower case),
                         additionally honors NO_COLOR per no-color.org
                         (any non-empty value disables color)

Flag values still take precedence; env vars are consulted only when the
flag is unset. The string-flag default values ("helm", "kustomize",
"info") move into the accessor methods so the env-var fallback can
actually trigger when no flag is passed.

* docs: mention new HELMFILE_* env vars in cli.md and templating.md

* fix: make Color/NoColor/env interaction consistent

Two issues with the env-aware NoColor() introduced together with
HELMFILE_NO_COLOR / NO_COLOR support:

1. Color() consulted the raw GlobalOptions.NoColor field instead of
   NoColor(), so in a TTY with only the env set, Color() fell through
   to terminal autodetect and ValidateConfig() spuriously errored with
   "--color and --no-color cannot be specified at the same time".

2. NoColor() returned true via env even when --color was explicitly
   passed, so `helmfile --color` with NO_COLOR (or HELMFILE_NO_COLOR=true)
   in the environment hit the same ValidateConfig() error. A flag should
   always win over an env var.

Fix both by routing Color() through NoColor() and giving NoColor() an
explicit --color short-circuit. Regression tests added for both paths.
