Describe the bug
The current implementation of Flet build template explicitly sets the ENV VARS of the app, which may not work well if the app is to be used in a container / sandboxed environment (flatpak on linux for example).
Code sample
generated build/flutter/lib/main.dart line 192-201:
if (defaultTargetPlatform == TargetPlatform.windows) {
// use TCP on Windows
var tcpPort = await getUnusedPort();
pageUrl = "tcp://localhost:$tcpPort";
environmentVariables["FLET_SERVER_PORT"] = tcpPort.toString();
} else {
// use UDS on other platforms
pageUrl = "flet_$pid.sock";
environmentVariables["FLET_SERVER_UDS_PATH"] = pageUrl;

To reproduce
flet build linux
Expected behavior
The app should prioritize already set system ENV VARs, only if undefined proceed to override them with defaults.
