…config - Add SysProp.defaultGlobalBaseDirectory: uses SBT_CONFIG_HOME, XDG_CONFIG_HOME/sbt (Unix), LOCALAPPDATA/sbt (Windows), else ~/.sbt - BuildPaths.defaultGlobalBase delegates to SysProp for consistent default - sbt script: inject -Dsbt.global.base from XDG when not already set; getPreloaded() fallback uses SBT_CONFIG_HOME/XDG_CONFIG_HOME - sbt.bat: use LOCALAPPDATA/sbt when --sbt-dir not set - Tests: BuildPathsTest (property + absolute path), RunnerScriptTest (XDG)

Summary
When
SBT_CONFIG_HOME,XDG_CONFIG_HOME(Unix), orLOCALAPPDATA(Windows) is set, sbt uses that for the default global config directory instead of~/.sbt. Existing users with no env set keep~/.sbt. No new dependencies.Reproduction / verification
XDG_CONFIG_HOME=/tmp/myconfig sbt -v compile→ command line includes-Dsbt.global.base=/tmp/myconfig/sbt.sbt --sbt-dir ~/.sbt ...or-Dsbt.global.base=...still wins.mainProj/Test/testOnly sbt.BuildPathsTest(property + absolute path).launcherPackageIntegrationTest/Test/test(script XDG test included).Closes #3681
