vite 3.2 ignores env variables from cli

[rrittwag]

Describe the bug

Env variables that are defined in a cli call (e.g. VITE_TITLE='title from cli' vite) are ignored since Vite 3.2.0.

Reproduction

https://stackblitz.com/edit/vitejs-vite-rr4qtt?file=package.json

Steps to reproduce

• use an env variable in vite (e.g. VITE_TITLE)
• define or override it via cli call (e.g. in package.json)

Expected behaviour: the env variable is defined/overriden by cli - as it is common in most cli tools.

Current behaviour: Since Vite v3.2.0 the cli env variables are ignored.
