Description

What problem does this feature solve?

In most places where dotenv is used system env vars override the dotenv vars, however dotenv-module does the exact opposite, swapping this around would give the expected result when using systemvars: true

Contributor guide

Research direction
Identify where dotenv variables are loaded and override system environment variables; swap the merge order so system vars take precedence when 'systemvars: true' is set.
