eslint.options.env is not respected

[loilo]

When configuring default options for ESLint through VSCode options, the env option is ignored:

// VSCode settings
{
  "eslint.options": {
    "rules": {
      "no-undef": ["error"]
    },
    "env": {
      "browser": true
    }
  }
}

// Any JavaScript file, errors with "'alert' is not defined"
alert('baz')

Notes:

• This seems to be the exact same issue as Eslint.options Env doesn't apply on Node LTS #395.
• Everything works as expected when the same options are defined in an .eslintrc file.

Actually this is a quirk in npm ESLint itself. In the options for the CLIEngine this is called envs not env. See https://eslint.org/docs/developer-guide/nodejs-api#cliengine

Weird. Thanks for investigating!
