To switch beads from a per-project dolt server to the shared server, do a backup, configure shared-server, and restore.

I was running in “a server per repo” mode and it’s just unnecessary, they clash in annoying ways when switching repos, and once I understood how beads store data in git I embraced dolt and the shared server. I had hesitated because I had somehow connected it with DoltHub, and that’s optional for using beads.

1. bd backup: make sure you have your local database available for restore
2. bd dolt stop: so we don’t conflict on anything
3. bd dolt set shared-server true: to configure this project to use the shared server
4. bd restore: to restore the db

For most of my projects this just worked, but in some cases I had to reset the dolt configuration for the repo.
