In the doc for
-Xoptions (https://docs.python.org/3/using/cmdline.html#id5), when an option can be triggered through an equivalent environment variable, that variable is mentioned.An exception to that is
-X dev, which can also be triggered by the PYTHONDEVMODE variable, but that isn't mentioned in the CLI doc.Other missing environment variables in the CLI doc are PYTHONFAULTHANDLER and PYTHONTRACEMALLOC.

I improved help texts and cross-references in #100627 and #93219 but did not see this issue!
Will make a patch, or review one.
