Env File Support

[davethepunkyone]

Description

This adds functionality to support .env files for sensitive values, including a new script to automatically generate a local.env file and a fixture to run before all tests within the project and populate environment variables from this file when code is running.

Context

This allows for anyone using this framework to store sensitive values locally for testing purposes, without the need of saving or committing any values to the codebase.
