Don't cache configs from env

[ignaciocavina]

Could we flag an env-based config so that it is forced to always be read over from then env variable it is tied to? Right now it seems it only reads it upon startup, and keeps it value forever. The use case for this is to change a config during execution.

Very useful for testing where you dynamically change config values to assert how the unit-under-test changes accordingly

If you could provide a failing test (like https://github.com/mozilla/node-convict/blob/master/test/validation-tests.js#L226) it would be easier to fix.

Is very easy to do without : https://developer.mozilla.org/fr/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Objets_globaux/Object/assign

Object.assign(process.env, { a:1, n:2});
