This PR adds a section on .env files to the documentation for local development with Docker. I included some reasons I like this approach in general. Here are some reasons I prefer this approach to Blackbox:
GPG is tough to set up and use. Defining variables in a file and excluding that file from version control is not.
We no longer use encrypted secrets in deployment settings, and we've broadly adopted LastPass as an alternative means of secrets management. It seems only natural to remove it from the equation for local development.
