core: use env variable instead of config var to turn on logging pack access
5f44324 (core: log offset pack data accesses happened - 2011-07-06)
provides a way to observe pack access patterns via a config
switch. Setting an environment variable looks more obvious than a
config var, especially when you just need to _observe_, and more
inline with other tracing knobs we have.
Document it as it may be useful for remote troubleshooting.
