Setting the environment variable relocates the default base path for every project at once, e.g. onto a durable mount in a container. A per-project path registered with 'git side init --path' still takes precedence, and an empty value is treated as unset.

Motivation
git side init --pathrelocates storage one project at a time, with themapping recorded per root SHA. There is currently no way to say "store every
side repo under this base path" — which is the natural setup when the storage
should live on a durable mount (dev containers, network volumes) and projects
come and go. In a disposable container home, any project that never got its
init --pathsilently falls back to the platform data dir and its sidehistory dies with the container; today the workaround is symlinking
~/.local/share/git-sideonto the mount.Change
default_base_path()honors aGIT_SIDE_BASE_PATHenvironment variable:git side init --path(unchanged, still wins)GIT_SIDE_BASE_PATH, if set and non-emptyExisting setups see no behavior change unless they export the variable. An
empty value is treated as unset. Documented in the README next to the
per-project mechanism.
