We see a lot of people coming from Laravel or other frameworks confused about how environment variables work in production in Nuxt. Hopefully this will clear the confusion.

馃摎 Description
We see a lot of people still being confused about why their
.envor.env.prodfiles are not being read in production, especially people coming from Laravel or other PHP frameworks where.envfiles are being picked up automatically in production. Nuxt does it slightly differently, since it can be deployed to serverless or edge environments where a traditional filesystem isn't even available. So hopefully this will clear the confusion and explain the reasoning behind this design decision.This PR also lists some specific ways that env variables can be set in production so people are not left wondering how to do it.
