config: use /var/lib/dnswatcher as default data directory (#89)

Closes [issue #88](#88).

Changes the default `DNSWATCHER_DATA_DIR` from the relative path `./data` to the absolute path `/var/lib/dnswatcher`, following the [Filesystem Hierarchy Standard](https://refspecs.linuxfoundation.org/FHS_3.0/fhs/ch05s08.html) convention for variable application state data.

## Changes

- **`internal/config/config.go`**: Changed the Viper default for `DATA_DIR` from `"./data"` to `"/var/lib/"+name`, where `name` is the application name ("dnswatcher"). This makes the default derived from the app name rather than hardcoded.
- **`internal/config/config_test.go`**: Updated `TestNew_DefaultValues` and `TestStatePath` to expect the new absolute default.
- **`README.md`**: Updated the environment variable table and `.env` example to show `/var/lib/dnswatcher` as the default.

The Dockerfile already set `ENV DNSWATCHER_DATA_DIR=/var/lib/dnswatcher` explicitly, so Docker deployments are unaffected. This change makes the code default consistent with the Docker configuration.

`docker build .` passes all checks (fmt, lint, tests, build).
