docs: add claude_env input documentation with clear syntax examples

Added comprehensive documentation for the new claude_env input including:
- Entry in the Inputs table with description
- Example in the basic workflow configuration
- Detailed section in Advanced Configuration with practical use cases

This makes it clear how users can pass custom environment variables
to Claude Code execution in YAML format for CI/test setups.

## Advanced Configuration
### Custom Environment Variables
You can pass custom environment variables to Claude Code execution using the `claude_env` input. This is useful for CI/test setups that require specific environment variables:
```yaml
- uses: anthropics/claude-code-action@beta
with:
claude_env: |
NODE_ENV: test
CI: true
DATABASE_URL: postgres://test:test@localhost:5432/test_db
# ... other inputs
```
The `claude_env` input accepts YAML format where each line defines a key-value pair. These environment variables will be available to Claude Code during execution, allowing it to run tests, build processes, or other commands that depend on specific environment configurations.
### Custom Tools
