0003452: Add an option to select a Doomseeker environment path on startup

Notes
(0019356) WubTheCaptain (reporter) 2018-08-20 21:41	If anyone has a better solution that doesn't require adding more features to Doomseeker, I'm all up for it. But there's already a --datadir option for IP2C data and plugins, mind you.

(0019381) Blzut3 (administrator) 2018-08-21 23:36	While not exactly what you're looking for --portable could work with some limitations.

(0022563) Zalewa (developer) 2022-12-24 21:19	I have added a --basedir argument for that. I chose not to use --configdir because the "config" dir is only one of the directories that the Doomseeker uses. The other 2 are the cache and the managed files. --basedir configures the prefix path for all 3 of them. 'https://bitbucket.org/Doomseeker/doomseeker/commits/d47e2cfba63fb5e83d9e79170832d2e5e66dab73 [^]' Now `--basedir <path/to/doomseeker.exe/dir>` and `--portable` do nearly the same aside from suggesting the user a different directory to save the unmanaged files: "My Documents" in non-portable mode, and the exe dir in the portable mode. Despite the functional similarity, `--portable` should not be removed for compatibility reasons and because `--portable` describes a different intent than `--basedir`.
