Set environment variables for test runs

Feature request

Ability to use a dotenv file for test running. Exactly the same thing was implemented by the Go team here. Here's how it works:

"go.testEnvFile": "${workspaceFolder}/.env"

Then whenever you run a test it'll pick up the env vars from that file. Currently I do this workaround:

$ cd stream-chat-net
$ export OMNISHARP_STREAM_API_KEY=xyz
$ export OMNISHARP_STREAM_API_SECRET=xyz
$ code . 

With the OMNISHARP_ prefix it picks up the env vars but it's pretty inconvenient because I must start VS Code from the shell.

A lot of us don't want to clutter our machine-level env vars but want to use "local" ones. This feature would make it possible.

I guess I'll close it.
