Document ADMIN_PATH and STRAPI_ADMIN_BACKEND_URL environment variables

[singhvishalkr]

What

Issue #2281 flags two environment variables that show up in every strapi build log under "Including the following ENV variables as part of the JS bundle" but are not documented anywhere in cms/configurations/environment:

• ADMIN_PATH
• STRAPI_ADMIN_BACKEND_URL

Both are baked into the admin JS bundle at build time by createBuildContext, and both can be overridden via environment variables before running strapi build. STRAPI_TELEMETRY_DISABLED is the only sibling already in the table; the two missing variables are added next to it so the build-output list maps cleanly to the docs.

Where

docusaurus/docs/cms/configurations/environment.md, immediately after the existing STRAPI_TELEMETRY_DISABLED row in the "Strapi's environment variables" table.

Defaults

• ADMIN_PATH resolves to the pathname of admin.url (default /admin).
• STRAPI_ADMIN_BACKEND_URL resolves to the pathname of server.url when the admin panel and the back end share the same origin (typically /), otherwise to the full back-end URL. Source: createBuildContext build-time computation using server.absoluteUrl and admin.absoluteUrl.

Closes #2281
