Unlike, say, M-x compile with its `compilation-environment' variable,
Eglot does not provide its own mechanism to specify the environment in
which a language server is executed.  (For the record, I think this is
the correct thing to do.)

Still, there are several options to make Eglot launch the correct
language server: you can write a little wrapper script for language
server, or launch Emacs from a terminal with the correct environment,
etc, etc.  But setting `process-environment' and `exec-path'
buffer-locally is by far the most pleasant option in my opinion.
