add inheritEnv action parameter

[OmarTawfik]

Upon some further discussion and great insights from @jkeech, I think an opt-in experience (i.e. autoEnv or inerhitEnv) could make good sense. This way it doesn't change the default experience / dev container expectations for all scenarios, but it'd be a helpful option in ones such as those detailed above. And if env was used, it could be treated as an override to anything that was automatically inherited.

Great, thanks!

Could you also add it to:

• the table in azdo-task/README.md
• azdo-task/DevcontainersCi/task.json
• the table in docs/azure-devops-task.md

@chrmarti fixed test by removing structuredClone(). The old object is preserved.
Thanks!

@chrmarti can you please tell me when does this get released?
The last release was 3 months ago.
Thanks!
