Release 23.07

This release introduces a new feature FEATURES_OVERRIDING_ENVV, which controls the overriding or adding of environment variables at the container startup-time.
Meaning, after the container has already been created.

The feature is enabled by default.
It can be disabled by setting the variable FEATURES_OVERRIDING_ENVV to zero when the container is created or the image is built.
Be aware that any other value than zero, even if unset or empty, enables the feature.

If FEATURES_OVERRIDING_ENVV=1, then the container startup script will look for the file $HOME/.override/.override_envv.rc and source all the lines that begin with the string 'export ' at the first position and contain the '=' character.

The overriding file can be provided from outside the container using bind mounts or volumes.

The lines that have been actually sourced can be reported into the container's log if the startup parameter --verbose or --debug is provided.

This feature is an enhanced implementation of the previously available functionality known as Overriding VNC/noVNC parameters at the container startup-time.

Therefore this is a breaking change for the users that already use the VNC/noVNC overriding.
They need to move the content from the previous file $HOME"/.vnc_override.rc into the new file $HOME/.override/.override_envv.rc.
