Having a dedicated command to show up local environment information 'cypress info'

[jamesgeorge007]

Feature Request

Most CLI tools these days are shipped with a dedicated info command which shows up local environment information. Also, the present issue template includes a section which expects to have information regarding the local environment.

With this all the user has to do is just copy and paste the information as shown by cypress info within the respective section.

The code for this can be found here (for example this is the cypress help command) for anyone that would like to contribute this cypress info command. https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/blob/develop/cli/lib/cli.js#L156

I imagine it would print:

• Cypress version
• OS platform info

Maybe some environment variables from the OS we care about? like...

• HTTP_PROXY
• NO_PROXY
• CYPRESS_INSTALL_BINARY

From this previous issue, there was a recommendation on the structure of printing browser information we've found that I liked. Pasting here from @bahmutov previous comment.

It cold also perhaps link to our debugging guide on how to get browsers to be detected that are not currently. https://on.cypress.io/debugging#Launching-browsers

The code for this is done in cypress-io/cypress#6372, but has yet to be released.
We'll update this issue and reference the changelog when it's released.
