`process is not defined` error with Vite/Rollup

[lvnam96]

I got error stated in title due to the different between how Webpack & Vite load env vars.

I managed to solve the problem by updating Vite's config:

import { defineConfig, loadEnv } from 'vite';

export default defineConfig(({ mode }) => {
  const env = loadEnv(mode, process.cwd(), '');
  return {
    define: {
      // those two env vars are used by this lib
      // ref: https://github.com/thlorenz/parse-link-header/blob/f380d3f99de4a5411b2d7f8da6069bb7529cbf4a/index.js#L7
      'process.env.PARSE_LINK_HEADER_MAXLEN': JSON.stringify(env.PARSE_LINK_HEADER_MAXLEN),
      'process.env.PARSE_LINK_HEADER_THROW_ON_MAXLEN_EXCEEDED': JSON.stringify(
        env.PARSE_LINK_HEADER_THROW_ON_MAXLEN_EXCEEDED,
      ),
    },
    // ...
}

Related issue #26
#28 also addressed this issue & are resolved in another forked repo, see https://github.com/web3-storage/parse-link-header/blob/490a43ab57f2cb890c924a3705b36da14783f797/README.md?plain=1#L53

There might be more env vas used in the future, & it's not great to maintain this inside our code. Should there be a note for Vite's users in documentation?
