Bug Summary
Describe the bug:
Devfile has special Envs like PROJECTS_ROOT. These special Envs can be referenced by the container Envs.. Since they are dependent Envs, PROJECTS_ROOT cannot be defined in the end of the container Envs.
Check https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/inject-data-application/define-interdependent-environment-variables/ for reference
- Update ENV list for all special/reserved ENVs in devfiles as per the above note, seems to here
- Ensure that the bug is not due to bad references in devfiles that might contribute to ENV not being expanded
To Reproduce:
Expected behavior
Envs referencing PROJECTS_ROOT and similar other special Envs should be expanded without issues
Any logs, error output, screenshots etc? Provide the devfile that sees this bug, if applicable

@Horiodino devfile/devworkspace-operator#1282 is fixing the repo https://github.com/devfile/devworkspace-operator.
I think this issue could be used to fix https://github.com/devfile/library/blob/main/pkg/devfile/generator/utils.go#L156-L160.
The devworkspace-operator team does not use this repo https://github.com/devfile/api/issues for their issue tracking.
