Make paths configurable via environment variables

- Replace hardcoded paths with INPUT_DIR and OUTPUT_DIR env vars
- Add sensible generic defaults if env vars not set
- Update service example with all environment variables
- Document environment variables in README
- Makes codebase more portable and configuration-driven

 ### Environment Variables
 
+- `INPUT_DIR`: Directory to monitor for new MP4 files (default: `/home/user/livestreams`)
+- `OUTPUT_DIR`: Local output directory for processed files (default: `/media/archive/livestreams`)
 - `PC_SYNC_TARGET`: Remote sync destination (e.g., `user@server:/path/to/destination/`)
