Description

There is currently not support for the following configurations via environment variables according to the available documentation.

[deployment]
pass4SymmKey = some-secret

There is currently support for most pass4SymmKey key values for each allowed stanza but [deployment] is missing.

This environment variable should work exactly the same as any other not [general] pass4SymmKey key-value pairs.

Adding this support would be best practice to avoid having to use the [general] pass4SymmKey key on Deployment Server containers.

Research direction

Start by tracing the existing environment-variable handling for pass4SymmKey and compare the supported stanza keys with the ADVANCED.html inventory-script documentation linked in the issue. Done means the [deployment] value is accepted through its environment variable with the same behavior as other non-[general] pass4SymmKey entries, with relevant tests updated or added.
