Owner

On Linux the launcher put its save backups in ~/.local/share/oot-save-backups, a folder of its own at the top of the data folder, away from everything else Longshot keeps. They now go beside the saves, in ~/.local/share/longshot/save-backup/.

What changed

SaveEnvironment.BackupRoot (Core/Saves.cs): Linux's default is $XDG_DATA_HOME/longshot/save-backup. Windows (%LOCALAPPDATA%\Longshot\oot-save-backups) and a portable launcher's save-backups are unchanged.
docs/saves.md says the new folder.

Uninstall keeps whatever BackupRoot is, so it follows the new folder with no other change.

Compatibility

Backups already made stay in ~/.local/share/oot-save-backups; nothing moves them. Longshot's scripts/longshot_saves.py still backs up to the old folder on Linux, so until it follows, the script's and the launcher's backups are in two places.

Testing

Not built or tested locally; CI compiles it and runs both tests.
