feat(config): Add option for env_path #8346

Implements #5723

Motivation

Now, the .env file is only loaded from the project root. A config option can be added to load the .env file from another directory. This will be helpful if Foundry is used within a monorepo that uses a single .env file.

Solution

I have added an option for the config to allow adding the env_file location. Since it will not change often, I thought making it a config item instead of a CLI flag would make more sense.

not entirely opposed to this because I can see how this is useful.
but this has the same effect as doing a source call, which I guess is cumbersome if you need to change env vars often?

would it be possible to symlink the env file in the foundry root dir?

I'd like to keep this function as is

this complicates things a lot, because is an additional config lookup, which isn't super cheap.

I also don't want to automatically load env vars when loading the config.
so not quite sure yet where to apply this

Makes sense, I agree that this is kind of hard to implement with this structure. I will try and see how it goes.

@mattsse where do you think would be a good place in code for checking if env_root exists and create the symlink?
