Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Some users may have a custom NuGet.Config file in the global directory (%APPDATA%\Nuget) that prevents them from downloading Stride.
Describe the solution you'd like
Allow overriding the store settings location.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Temporarily changing the config file while working with Stride.
Additional context
There's 2 places where the NugetStore class is initialized:
First one determines sources of packages in the Launcher, second one is used for loading projects by the editor and running the asset pipeline.
I'm suggesting using an environment variable StrideNugetPath in the NugetStore class to initialize the settings
https://github.com/stride3d/stride/blob/7e836297cb5930c01e6dfa0183e7f3cc64748fb6/sources/assets/Stride.Core.Packages/NugetStore.cs#L63
const string StrideNugetPathOverrideVariableName = "StrideNugetPath";
// null is returned if variable is not set, preserving existing behavior
var nugetConfigPathOverride = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable(StrideNugetPathOverrideVariableName);
settings = NuGet.Configuration.Settings.LoadDefaultSettings(nugetConfigPathOverride);
Note that the path is used for recursive search of config files, so if we set it to C:\Users\me it will check for:
C:\Users\me\NuGet.config, C:\Users\NuGet.config, C:\NuGet.config

Research direction
Start in sources/assets/Stride.Core.Packages/NugetStore.cs at the settings initialization, then inspect the NugetStore call sites in sources/launcher/Stride.Launcher/Launcher.cs and sources/assets/Stride.Core.Assets/PackageStore.cs. Verify the configured override controls recursive NuGet.Config lookup in both launcher and editor/asset-pipeline usage, while an unset variable preserves existing behavior.
