website: Add TF_IN_AUTOMATION to environment variables page (#19721)

* Adds TF_IN_AUTOMATION description

Blatantly copied from https://learn.hashicorp.com/terraform/development/running-terraform-in-automation since it is missing on the [env var page](https://www.terraform.io/docs/configuration/environment-variables.html).

* Update website/docs/commands/environment-variables.html.md

@ -100,3 +100,16 @@ The data directory is used to retain data that must persist from one command
to the next, so it's important to have this variable set consistently throughout
all of the Terraform workflow commands (starting with `terraform init`) or else
Terraform may be unable to find providers, modules, and other artifacts.
## TF_IN_AUTOMATION
If `TF_IN_AUTOMATION` is set to any non-empty value, Terraform adjusts its
output to avoid suggesting specific commands to run next. This can make the
output more consistent and less confusing in workflows where users don't
directly execute Terraform commands, like in CI systems or other wrapping
applications.
This is a purely cosmetic change to Terraform's human-readable output, and the
exact output differences can change between minor Terraform versions.
