Description

Currently we only have `local.settings.json`. I think for linux development, supporting a `.env` would make sense and would make the integration with docker/docker-compose simpler.

Research direction

Start by tracing how local.settings.json is currently used for environment variables in the command-line tools. Then examine how the Docker and docker-compose workflows consume settings. Done means Linux development also supports a .env file and that the stated Docker integrations work with it.
