Environmental Variables of type Boolean are represented as a String by the Config object

[mdebarros]

Summary:
Environmental Variables are not being set by the Config object as a Boolean type, and instead, are set a string value.

Severity:
Low

Priority:
Low

Expected Behavior
Declare an Environmental Variable for any Boolean Configuration (e.g. export CLEDG_SIDECAR_DISABLED=true) should be represented as a Boolean type.

Fix:

1. Include the following import on the config.js:
   require('parse-strings-in-object') <-- ref: https://www.npmjs.com/package/parse-strings-in-object#example-in-rc-config

Example implemented in the Event SDK:
const RC = require('parse-strings-in-object')(require('rc')('EVENT_SDK', require('../../config/default.json')))

Steps to Reproduce

1. Declare an Environmental Variable for any Boolean Configuration (e.g. export CLEDG_SIDECAR_DISABLED=true)
2. This will be correctly assigned to the Config object, but it will be a string instead of a Boolean
