[Policy] Allow upload username/password provided via environment vars
The username and password used by `Policy` when `--upload` is used may
now be read via environment variables to avoid sensitive information
from being included in `ps` output if they were provided via
command-line options instead of the interactive prompts.
Upload username may now be provided via the SOSUPLOADUSER variable.
Upload password may now be provided via the SOSUPLOADPASSWORD variable.
Resolves: #2216
