While forgetting about it was warned about, having to add every new
environment option to wanted_mozconfig_variables is cumbersome. It turns
out there is a hackish way to make things work without that list, which,
all things considered, is not worse than the hacks around the
wanted_mozconfig_variables function, and are certainly an improvement as
it doesn't require an ever growing list of environment options.

Wow, that is hacky, but I'm fine with this approach while we transition.

I generally prefer early return rather than indentation.

> I generally prefer early return rather than indentation.

For short functions with little level of nesting, I generally prefer not doing early returns. That said, early returns would make the remaining_mozconfig_options function a little better. So I'll do that there.
