Subject: [PATCH] docs: remove dotenv from drizzle.config.ts examples

drizzle-kit auto-loads .env since v0.20.0, so calling dotenv.config()
inside drizzle.config.ts is no longer necessary.

Removes the dotenv import and config() call from the drizzle.config.ts
snippets in 6 tutorials. The src/db/index.ts blocks still call dotenv
since application code legitimately needs it at runtime.

Closes #5725
