vmalert doesn't take environment variables

[afoninsky]

TLDR: both "vmagent" and "vmalert" have externalLabels field. vmagent replaces environment variables placed as placeholder, vmalert passes them as-is

k describe pod vmoperator-55d697dcf9-pfk55

k exec vmalert-infra-86bd448b6-kcr9r -c vmalert env | grep BKS_CLUSTER
BKS_CLUSTER=bplatform-eu-uk-prod-d

k exec vmalert-infra-86bd448b6-kcr9r -c vmalert ps
/vmalert-prod -datasource.url=http://monitor -enableTCP6=true -envflag.enable=true -evaluationInterval=1m -external.label=cluster=%{BKS_CLUSTER}

Must be fixed at the v1.82.0 + vmalert release, feel free to re-open.
