import environment variables that are present

previously docker did import environment variables if they were present
but created them if they were not when it was asked via a --env-file
cli option to import but not create them.

fix is to only import the variable into the environment if it is present.

additionally do not import variable names of zero-length (which are lines
w/ a potential variable definition w/o a variable name).
