added direnv support for development testing

This was originally going to be part of a larger change, but it appears that the larger change isn't necessary at this time. I'm going to submit this for review now simply because I find it to be useful. Hopefully others will as well.

LGTM 👍

Although, is there a benefit to the .envrc script vs. using export DISCOENV_... in the .env file and sourcing that (using . ./.env or source ./.env)?

Thanks for the review!

The biggest benefit for me is simply convenience. With direnv installed and .envrc in place, I no longer have to remember to source the .env file every time once I've run direnv allow in that directory. In most cases, this allows me to simply run the service without having to worry about configuration at all.

I'm not entirely sure that I understood the question correctly, so feel free to let me know if I haven't answered it. 😅

Yes, thanks, that answers it. I haven't used direnv before, so that does seem convenient 👍
