fix: log base directory to startup messages when --base-directory is used

[octo-patch]

Fixes #13363

Problem

When --base-directory is passed at startup, ComfyUI logs messages like:

Setting output directory to: ...
Setting input directory to: ...
Setting user directory to: ...

But it never logs a message for the base directory itself, making it hard to confirm that --base-directory was applied correctly.

Solution

Add a Setting base directory to: ... log message in apply_custom_paths(), consistent with how other directory overrides are reported. The folder_paths.base_path value (already computed at import time) is used since it reflects the resolved absolute path.

Testing

Run ComfyUI with --base-directory /some/path and verify the startup output includes:

Setting base directory to: /some/path

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

This pull request adds logging functionality for the --base-directory CLI argument in main.py. When the argument is provided, the code logs the base directory path within the apply_custom_paths() function. The implementation adds 4 lines without modifying existing control flow or path-setting logic, and introduces no changes to public API declarations.
