The settings documentation topic lacks clear direction on how to use the
environment variables to manage settings. We should give a quick example
on how to configure a setting with an environment variable. We should add
a mention to this new section in the
[https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/6.0/howto/deployment/checklist
/#environment-specific-settings Environment Specific Settings part of the
deployment checklist].

This doesn't need to be overly complex. The SECRET_KEY part of the
deployment checklist already shows 90% of what we should include. Maybe we
show an example of an optional environment variable and potentially
something like `CUSTOM_VAR=value python manage.py <command>` on how to
customize it.

This should also include an admonition to the community maintained
solutions as per https://github.com/django/new-features/issues/39
