Override config from environment. See #50

Expects uppercase environment variables of MATTERBRIDGE_PROTOCOL_ACCOUNT_KEY="value"
e.g. you can override this config

[mattermost]
    [mattermost.work]
    Team="yourteam"
    Login="yourlogin"
    Password="yourpass"

by using
MATTERBRIDGE_MATTERMOST_WORK_TEAM="newteam"
MATTERBRIDGE_MATTERMOST_WORK_LOGIN="newlogin"
MATTERBRIDGE_MATTERMOST_WORK_PASSWORD="newpassword"
