Subject: fix: update default config path to follow XDG Base Directory spec
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

- Change default config from ~/.gitsyncer.json to ~/.config/gitsyncer/config
- Update all documentation and help text to reflect new path
- LoadConfig still checks common locations for backward compatibility:
  - ./gitsyncer.json
  - ~/.config/gitsyncer/config (new default)
  - ~/.gitsyncer.json

This follows the XDG Base Directory specification for better organization
of configuration files.
