Have the ability to specify the base URL as a client option

[simonorono]

Describe the feature you'd like to request

I'd like to be able to use my local instance of the PokeAPI with this library.

For the app I'm creating, I use the PokeAPI to generate data files during development time. To avoid making lots of calls to the PokeAPI, I host a local instance of it. I would like to use this library with my local instance of the PokeAPI.

Describe the solution you'd like

I believe that adding the base URL as an optional parameter to the ClientArgs interface would be the best solution and, if empty, use BaseURL.REST.

Describe alternatives you've considered

I created a wrapper class around MainClient that replaced the api instance of each client with my own:

import { ClientArgs, MainClient } from "pokenode-ts"
import { setup } from 'axios-cache-adapter';

export class CustomClient extends MainClient {
  constructor(clientArgs?: ClientArgs) {
    super(clientArgs);

    [
      this,
      this.berry,
      this.contest,
      this.encounter,
      this.evolution,
      this.game,
      this.item,
      this.location,
      this.machine,
      this.move,
      this.pokemon,
    ].forEach(_ => _.api = setup({
        baseURL: 'http://localhost/api/v2',
        headers: {
          'Content-Type': 'application/json',
        },
        cache: {
          maxAge: clientArgs?.cacheOptions?.maxAge || 0,
          ...clientArgs?.cacheOptions,
        },
      })
    )
  }
}

If the proposal is accepted, I could code the feature.
