Summary
Corrects grammar error in the environment variables section of the Docker CLI documentation. Specifically, the subject of the sentence is "list" (singular), not "environment variables" (plural). The phrase "of environment variables" is a prepositional phrase that modifies "list" but doesn't change the fact that the subject is singular. So updating.
Changes
Changed "The following list of environment variables are supported" to "The following list of environment variables is supported"
