new users have trouble installing databroker YML file #211

On some systems, the XDG_DATA_HOME environment variable does not point to ~/.local/share/intake/. So the training.yml file that has this instruction can be confusing. The document provides better advice on how to find this directory, such as one of the directories in the list returned by databroker.catalog_search_path()

Somehow, word this in the training.yml file so it is easy for new users to understand and get the file in the right place.
