Detect GOOGLE_SEARCH_KEY environment variable

Evan Read requested to merge eread/detect-google-search-key-environment-variable into main

What does this MR do and why?

Follow up to: !3866 (merged).

Provides information to for make compile so people know if they're building with Google Programmable Search whether the search has a chance of working or not. It can't do any validation, but can at least check if GOOGLE_SEARCH_KEY is set.

How to set up and validate locally

Numbered steps to set up and validate the change are strongly suggested.

  1. Configure a local GitLab Docs environment: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-docs/-/blob/main/doc/setup.md.
  2. Check out this branch.
  3. Run make compile with GOOGLE_SEARCH_KEY. Notice the presence of the environment is detected.
  4. Run unset GOOGLE_SEARCH_KEY. Then run make compile. Notice the lack of the environment variable is detected.
