Replace os.environ with dotenv for better environment variable management

Fixes microsoft#68

Update code samples to use `python-dotenv` for environment variable management.

* **02-explore-agentic-frameworks/code_samples/02-autogen.ipynb**
  - Import `load_dotenv` from `dotenv`.
  - Add `load_dotenv()` after the import statements.
  - Replace `os.environ` with `os.getenv` for accessing environment variables.

* **02-explore-agentic-frameworks/code_samples/02-semantic-kernel.ipynb**
  - Import `load_dotenv` from `dotenv`.
  - Add `load_dotenv()` after the import statements.
  - Replace `os.environ` with `os.getenv` for accessing environment variables.

* **04-tool-use/code_samples/04-semantic-kernel-tool.ipynb**
  - Import `load_dotenv` from `dotenv`.
  - Add `load_dotenv()` after the import statements.
  - Replace `os.environ` with `os.getenv` for accessing environment variables.

* **04-tool-use/code_samples/04-sematic-kernel-python-aiagent-bookinghotel.ipynb**
  - Import `load_dotenv` from `dotenv`.
  - Add `load_dotenv()` after the import statements.
  - Replace `os.environ` with `os.getenv` for accessing environment variables.

* **05-agentic-rag/code_samples/05-autogen-chromadb.ipynb**
  - Import `load_dotenv` from `dotenv`.
  - Add `load_dotenv()` after the import statements.
  - Replace `os.environ` with `os.getenv` for accessing environment variables.

* **07-planning-design/code_samples/07-autogen.ipynb**
  - Import `load_dotenv` from `dotenv`.
  - Add `load_dotenv()` after the import statements.
  - Replace `os.environ` with `os.getenv` for accessing environment variables.

* **requirements.txt**
  - Add `python-dotenv` to the list of dependencies.
