twilio-run doesn't resolve credentials from environment variables as documented.

Issue Summary

I am trying to source credentials from environment variables for a CI/CD environment. Following documentation here: https://www.twilio.com/docs/twilio-cli/general-usage/profiles#use-environment-variables It seems that I should be able to define as below:

TWILIO_ACCOUNT_SID=xxxx
TWILIO_API_KEY=yyyy
TWILIO_API_SECRET=zzzz

with values sourced from the Twilio console for the API key in question. However when I do this and execute a command that requires authentication (e.g. twilio-run deploy) I receive the following error message:

│ ERROR Missing Credentials
│ 
│ We couldn't find any Twilio credentials for you.
│ 
│ Please enter ACCOUNT_SID and AUTH_TOKEN in your .env file.
│ 
│ Alternatively you can specify them via the command-line using "--username" and "--password"
│ 
│ For more information use "--help"

Edit: This doesn't seem to work when they are saved in a twilio.env file either, as implied by https://www.twilio.com/docs/usage/secure-credentials#mac--linux.

So what's the correct way to source these from the environment? Can I trust any of the documentation here? What's the recommendation for authenticating in a CI/CD environment if this simple stuff doesn't work?

Steps to Reproduce

As above.

Technical details:

• twilio-cli version: 5.19.1

After some experimentation, this appears to work, assuming I am able to use a user account token and not a user-independent api key (and I'd certainly prefer to not have my automatic deployments tied to a single user's account from a security point-of-view):

twilio-run deploy --functions-folder dist/functions --assets-folder dist/assets -l debug --username $TWILIO_ACCOUNT_SID --password $TWILIO_AUTH_TOKEN

My experiments lead me to believe environment variables and .env files approaches that are documented just don't work. Is this intended?
