feat(core): Support working with env files (#737)

Fix: #687

Users should not be required to load each env var manually if they have
an env file.
Added support for loading a dot-env file.

Usage:
```python
with DockerContainer("nginx:latest").with_env_file("my_env_file"):
    # We now have a container with the relevant env vars from the file
```

This is an implementation of ```docker run --env-file <file> ...```
