Localized strings are now being removed from manifest.json

[rthaut]

It seems localized strings in the manifest.json file are erroneously being removed during the "compilation" process.

A source manifest.json file containing the following contents:

{
  "manifest_version": 3,
  "name": "__MSG_extensionName__",
  "description": "__MSG_extensionDescription__",
  "version": "1.0"
}

Results in this invalid manifest.json (note the empty name and description properties):

{
  "manifest_version": 3,
  "name": "",
  "description": "",
  "version": "1.0"
}

However, the expected output is:

{
  "manifest_version": 3,
  "name": "__MSG_extensionName__",
  "description": "__MSG_extensionDescription__",
  "version": "1.0"
}

I haven't done any debugging yet, but a cursory glance leads me to believe the transformManifestValuesFromENV() method introduced in v2.0.1 is the culprit, as the was not an issue in v1.0,0 and earlier.
