Store `api_key` as Environment Variable

Is it possible to store the api_key listed in .wakatime.cfg file as an environmental variable instead? Perhaps something like WAKATIME_API_KEY. This would help by being able to create backups of my encrypted bash exports file.

@alanhamlett would you agree that some editors and the cli could read WAKATIME_API_KEY env var?

@nicholaswilde sorry being so late replying you. Are you still wanting this feature? We already implemented a way you can import any config file over already loaded wakatime one. Does that help you achieving what you want?

Closing as solved by including config files so you can backup the main config without api key.
