`generate` converts `boolean` and `number` typed env vars to strings #62

When using the generate command all env var values are wrapped with double quotes despite their type.

This also breaks template sections based on a boolean since true/false are converted to strings. To work around this the variable must be optional and the value "" to satisfy the false case and "any value" to satisfy the true case.

To elaborate, the envfile is modified by Katapult during generate and wraps the values with quotes. This converts booleans and numbers to strings.

Sample environment.yml:

version: v1.0.0
config-store:
  envfile:
    path: environment

Sample environment file before generate:

QUERIER_REPLICAS=1
PROMTAIL_ENABLED=false
AWS_REGION="us-east-1"

Sample environment file after generate:

QUERIER_REPLICAS="1"
PROMTAIL_ENABLED="false"
AWS_REGION="us-east-1"
