Feature request

Implement envFile attribute in launch.json dap configuration.

Possible profits

A more convenient way to manage dotenvs while debugging complex projects.

Description

According to VSCode debugger config there is a very useful attribute envFile that helps manage big Dotenv files while debugging complex projects. Without this attribute, there is only one way to use .env files – env attribute.
Now it works properly, but after editing variables, we should constantly reload nvim-dap. A workflow like this is painful in my opinion.

Possible solutions

It would be possible to support envFile in a nvim-dap extension by using the enrich_config hook supported for adapters. See :h dap-adapter
It would need to check if there is a envFile property on the config, if so replace it with env with the content from the file and then call on_config with the modified configuration.
