Native support for .env in Serverless Framework

[medikoo]

@colynb great thanks for this plugin!

We're currently investigating a possibility of supporting .env file natively in a Framework.

Main reason is that ideally env vars from .env should be loaded at very begin of a process, and resolution via plugin is delayed simply by its nature. So taking into account dotenv popularity I believe it's a good call to make it a first class citizen in the Framework (it's also already supported in Serverless Components)

Also we simply plan to support it it as convenient env vars transport into process.env and nothing more (no automatic leak into lambdas etc.)

We will value your feedback at serverless/serverless#7907
