Subject: [PATCH] docs(compose): fix environment variable sentence (#26386)

## Description

Fixes #26385.

Correct the incomplete sentence in the Compose variable interpolation
guide so the relationship between `.env` variables and container
environment variables is clear.

## Validation

- `git diff --check`
- Scoped repository lint was unavailable because the pinned local
dependencies are not installed.

 - You can place your `.env` file in a location other than the root of your project's directory, and then use the [`--env-file` option in the CLI](#substitute-with---env-file) so Compose can navigate to it.
