Ability to override process.env

See original GitHub issue

In a case of using Create-React-App, it seems they are doing something funky with their process variable. That is, if you access process via require or import, it will be null. So this lib will never get the env vars set in by this app.

Would you mind adding an extra param for get(envVar, default, container) that allows us to pass in our own process.env as the 3rd param?

I could do a PR if you prefer that route.
