docs(core): add NX_TUI environment variables documentation (#31619)

This PR added two TUI environment variables to the reference page:
- NX_TUI to enabled/disable
- NX_TUI_AUTO_EXIT to control auto-exit behavior

## Current Behavior

The environment variables documentation does not include the new
Terminal UI (TUI) environment variables `NX_TUI` and `NX_TUI_AUTO_EXIT`
that were recently added to control the interactive terminal interface
for task
execution.

## Expected Behavior

The documentation now includes comprehensive information about the TUI
environment variables:
- `NX_TUI`: Controls whether the Terminal UI is enabled or disabled for
running tasks
- `NX_TUI_AUTO_EXIT`: Controls the auto-exit behavior of the TUI after
tasks complete, supporting boolean values or a number for countdown
seconds

The following environment variables are ones that you can set to change the behavior of Nx in different environments.

| NX_ADD_PLUGINS | boolean | If set to `false`, Nx will not add plugins to infer tasks. This is `true` by default. Workspaces created before Nx 18 will have this disabled via a migration for backwards compatibility |
| NX_BASE | string | The default base branch to use when calculating the affected projects. Can be overridden on the command line with `--base`. |
| NX_CACHE_DIRECTORY | string | The cache for task outputs is stored in `.nx/cache` by default. Set this variable to use a different directory. |

| NX_SKIP_REMOTE_CACHE | boolean | Disable all remote caching features. This means that the remote cache will not be read from or written to. Includes Nx Cloud and Powerpack Caches. |
| NX_DISABLE_REMOTE_CACHE | boolean | Disable all remote caching features. This means that the remote cache will not be read from or written to. Includes Nx Cloud and Powerpack Caches. |
| NX_TASKS_RUNNER | string | The name of task runner from the config to use. Can be overridden on the command line with `--runner`. Preferred over `NX_RUNNER`. |
| NX_TASKS_RUNNER_DYNAMIC_OUTPUT | boolean | If set to `false`, will use non-dynamic terminal output strategy (what you see in CI), even when you terminal can support the dynamic version |
| NX_TASKS_RUNNER_DYNAMIC_OUTPUT | boolean | If set to `false`, will use non-dynamic terminal output strategy (what you see in CI), even when your terminal can support the dynamic version |
| NX_TUI | boolean | If set to `true` or `false`, will enable or disable the Terminal UI (TUI) for running tasks. TUI provides an interactive visual interface for task execution |
| NX_TUI_AUTO_EXIT | boolean/number | Controls whether the TUI automatically exits after tasks finish. If `true`, exits immediately. If `false`, never exits automatically. If a number, shows a countdown for that many seconds before exiting |
| NX_VERBOSE_LOGGING | boolean | If set to `true`, will print debug information useful for troubleshooting |
| NX_DRY_RUN | boolean | If set to `true`, will perform a dry run of the generator. No files will be created and no packages will be installed. |
| NX_INTERACTIVE | boolean | If set to `true`, will allow Nx to prompt you in the terminal to answer some further questions when running generators. |
