Current Behavior

We do not load ENV vars from dotenv files when running affected commands. This means that people cannot build or create .env files at the root of their repo and have those values picked up when running affected commands.

Expected Behavior

We should load dotenv files at the root of the repo when running these commands

Related Issue(s)

Fixes #17634

@FrozenPandaz There could be an argument made that this loading of the dotenv files could/should happen earlier in the workflow, when nx is init for example. I've limited this to just the affected commands as that is what was raised in the issue linked, but I'm open to suggestions of a best place to do this, if this is something we want to do.
