Description
I think people will want to be able to launch nv as a library, for a couple reasons:
- Simplifies nv installation
- This is the most common pattern for using dotenv, which nv aims to be an alternative to
Given that nv is implemented in go, and given go's easy approach to package management, this is the obvious place to start.

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by mapping the current Go CLI structure and how nv loads dotenv files and integrates with secret managers. Done should mean a defined, importable Go library API that supports the requested use cases alongside the existing command-line tool.
