Subject: fix: change default config path to ~/.config/gitsyncer/config.json
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

- Add .json extension to default config path for clarity
- Update all documentation and help text
- Update config search paths to include the new default

The new default path is ~/.config/gitsyncer/config.json
(previously ~/.config/gitsyncer/config)
