Parse variable references in `terminal.integrated.env.osx`

Hi, there! 👋

The current recommendation for users of this plugin that wish to forward environment variables to the execution environment of dbt is to set terminal.integrated.env.{osx,linux,windows}. The problem is that the current implementation does not support variable references. With other words, this does not work:

{
    "terminal.integrated.env.osx": {
        "DBT_PROFILES_DIR": "${workspaceFolder}",
        "SOME_VARIABLE_USED_BY_DBT": "${env:SOME_VARIABLE_USED_BY_DBT}"
    }
}

This works for regular integrated terminals, so it is a divergence from the normal behavior of VS code.

An even better solution to this problem would be if terminal.integrated.inheritEnv is set to true, then dbt is executed in a terminal with the exact same environment variables as the host. Would that be possible? I think it might even make sense as the default behavior.

Thanks in advance, whatever you decide!

We’re having the same problem. This is such an awesome extension but we cannot use it because we are using a poetry Python environment install of dbt and maintain the profiles.yml file inside our dbt project. It would be amazing to support a simple configuration in e.g. settings.json.

Fixed in 0.8.9. Let me know if it works
