Add --db and let the user choose where the database lives
- `kareer --db <path>` works for the GUI and every subcommand, before or after the subcommand name, and creates the file if missing. main() strips it from argv before CLI/GUI routing; every parser declares it so it shows in --help. - Path precedence: --db > KAREER_DB_PATH > the location chosen in the GUI (kareerrc [Database] Path, read at startup for GUI and CLI alike) > $XDG_DATA_HOME/kareer/kareer.sqlite. - First GUI run (nothing forced, no file yet, or the configured file has gone missing): DatabaseSetupDialog offers the default location, a folder of the user's choice, or an existing database used in place. Until then JobsDatabase opens nothing. - Preferences gains a Database section: Move to... (copies, leaves the original), Open Existing..., Use Default Location. Refuses foreign SQLite files and unwritable ones. - Models call JobsDatabase::reopenIfPathChanged() on refresh, so switching databases needs no restart. - Link KF6::ConfigCore; add a QuickDialogs2 configure-time guard; add kconfig to the Arch dependencies and a note to the Flatpak manifest. - README documents --db, the precedence, and the first-run choice, and gains Fedora 44 build dependencies; CONTRIBUTING gets a dev recipe.

To develop against a throwaway database instead of your real one, pass
|

`--db` (the file is created if it doesn't exist); it works for the GUI and
|

every subcommand:
|

|

```sh

./build/bin/kareer --db build/dev.sqlite add --company Acme --title Engineer

./build/bin/kareer --db build/dev.sqlite

To see the first-run "where should the database live?" dialog, start with
