util: fix parseEnv incorrectly splitting multiple ‘=‘ in value

Previously, parseEnv would create multiple environment
variables if a single line contained multiple ‘=‘ characters
(e.g. A=B=C would become { A: ‘B=C’, B: ‘C’ }).
This commit ensures that only the first ‘=‘ is used as
the key-value delimiter, and the rest of the line is treated
as the value.
