Fixed Loading environment variables while using Apache Fixes #439 (#441)

* Changed how the settings variables are read into base.py. Just need to 'pip install python-dotenv' on the virtual environment on the server. Also deleted scripts because the one script is no longer needed.

* Added dependency to requirement.txt for python dot environment

* Created .env with default variables.

* ignores .env file

.env file can be customized to whoever is running Graphspace, no need to commit changes

* Added comments on how to format
