Clickhouse-benchmark Supports Environment Variable Authentication

Official CH changelog text
Now clickhouse-benchmark can read authentication info from environment variables. #36497 (Anton Kozlov).
The clickhouse-benchmark tool can now read authentication information from environment variables.

Why it matters

This feature simplifies the authentication process for users running clickhouse-benchmark by allowing credentials to be securely provided through environment variables instead of command-line parameters or configuration files.

How to use it

Set the necessary environment variables for authentication (such as CLICKHOUSE_USER, CLICKHOUSE_PASSWORD, etc.) before running clickhouse-benchmark. The tool will automatically read these variables to authenticate with the ClickHouse server.
