Subject: [PATCH] docs: add Gemini base URL setup instructions to README

The Gemini section was a comment with no actionable env var. Added
concrete code examples for both @google/genai (v1.x) and
@google/generative-ai (v0.x) showing how to set the base URL.
Also added missing ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=mock-key to the env block.

+For Google Gemini, the SDK doesn't support a base URL env var — pass it in code:
+
+```typescript
+// @google/genai (v1.x)
+import { GoogleGenAI } from "@google/genai";
+const ai = new GoogleGenAI({
+  apiKey: process.env.GOOGLE_API_KEY,
+  httpOptions: { baseUrl: "http://localhost:5555" },
+});
+
+// @google/generative-ai (v0.x)
+import { GoogleGenerativeAI } from "@google/generative-ai";
+const genAI = new GoogleGenerativeAI(process.env.GOOGLE_API_KEY!);
+const model = genAI.getGenerativeModel(
+  { model: "gemini-2.0-flash" },
+  { baseUrl: "http://localhost:5555" },
+);
 ```
