Proposal: add GetEnvironmentVariableAsBool to netstandard

[lucyllewy]

Currently the dotnet cli has a function which is located at: src/Microsoft.DotNet.Cli.Utils/EnvironmentProvider.cs Line 106

I think it would be useful to consider this functionality for inclusion into the System.Environment namespace.

This issue is to raise the idea and garner discussion. I do not believe it would conflict with anything already present, though I've not performed a thorough examination to prove it.

@diddledan the right place to propose new API is the corefx repo...
