Environment variables wrongly lead the precedence

[visko-sc]

Description

Reproduction steps:
.env:
MY_VAR=dotenv

Command: MY_VAR=environment task example

Expected output: task_value

Actual output: environment

Reference to expected behavior: https://taskfile.dev/usage/#variables:~:text=Variables%20can%20be%20set%20in%20many%20places%20in%20a%20Taskfile.%20When%20executing%20templates%2C%20Task%20will%20look%20for%20variables%20in%20the%20order%20listed%20below%20(most%20important%20first)%3A

Variables can be set in many places in a Taskfile. When executing templates, Task will look for variables in the order listed below (most important first):

Variables declared in the task definition
Variables given while calling a task from another (See Calling another task above)
Variables of the included Taskfile (when the task is included)
Variables of the inclusion of the Taskfile (when the task is included)
Global variables (those declared in the vars: option in the Taskfile)
Environment variables

Can you please improve the docs, too? The dotenv-s are missing from the list, I think this is the correct one:

• Variables declared in the task definition
• Dotenv variables from the dotenv files in the task definition
• Variables given while calling a task from another (See Calling another task above)
• Variables of the included Taskfile (when the task is included)
• Variables of the inclusion of the Taskfile (when the task is included)
• Global variables (those declared in the vars: option in the Taskfile)
• Global dotenv variables from the dotenv files in the global definition
• Environment variables

@visko-sc Task seems to be working correctly. Environment variables are considered last, as documented, and (rightly or wrongly) the OS provided vars have priority over those defined in the Taskfile.

If you enable this experiment, I do believe you will observe the behaviour you expect:
