apidash Reading environment variables directly from OS environment

Tell us about the task you want to perform and are unable to do so because the feature is not available

It would be great if API Dash has the ability to read environment variables from the operating system. This way it can access security credentials (like a password) and other system level variables.

@PramodMagadum Environment variable values are specified by the end user in the environment manager page. The goal is to add some provision where the user can specify that the value must be picked from OS environment. Things like tokens, passwords, etc are stored by many users in OS environment.

@ashitaprasad I have completed the basic implementation, and it is running successfully on Windows. However, I don't have access to Mac or Linux to test it. Can anyone guide me on how to check its functionality on other platforms?

@PramodMagadum You can test it on Linux using VM. Post which you can send a PR which we will test on macOS
