Description

First off, thanks for the awesome plugin. I discovered it yesterday and it is a game changer 🔥

Where do we currently store the session data? Furthermore, I would like to request a feature to specify the path/database to store the session data for backup purposes.

Research direction
First, check the plugin source code (likely in lua/chatgpt/) to find how session data is currently stored. Look for any references to file paths or standard Neovim data directories (e.g., vim.fn.stdpath('data')). Then, consider adding a new configuration option like 'session path' that allows users to specify a custom path. The implementation should use the provided path or fall back to the default. Review existing configuration handling in the plugin for consistency.
