Update getting_started.md (#4482)
# Added another helpful way for developers who want to set OpenAI API
Key dynamically

Previous methods like exporting environment variables are good for
project-wide settings.
But many use cases need to assign API keys dynamically, recently.

```python
from langchain.llms import OpenAI
llm = OpenAI(openai_api_key="OPENAI_API_KEY")
```

## Before submitting
```bash
export OPENAI_API_KEY="..."
```
Or,
```python
import os
os.environ["OPENAI_API_KEY"] = "..."
```

<hr>

Thank you.
Cheers,
