Would it be possible to add XDG support so our $HOME directories don't get polluted with Frum application data?
Steps to Recreate
By default all Ruby versions are installed in $HOME/.frum which pollutes the $HOME directory. Additionally, when using Frum, I have to use the following Bash aliases to ensure Frum uses proper XDG paths:
alias fmi="frum --frum-dir '$HOME/.cache/frum' install"
alias fms="frum --frum-dir '$HOME/.cache/frum' local"
alias fmu="frum --frum-dir '$HOME/.cache/frum' uninstall"
alias fmv="frum --frum-dir '$HOME/.cache/frum' versions"
Desired Behavior
I would like Frum to use XDG defaults by default. Example:
Config: $HOME/.config/frum/configuration.yml (can be TOML, INI, etc instead of YAML. Format doesn't matter much as long as a XDG configuration path is used).
Cache: $HOME/.cache/frum (this is what --frum-dir would default too).
Along the above lines, it might be nice to add the following command line arguments:
↑ The above would allow anyone to override the config or cache from the command line but these could also be put in $HOME/.config/frum/configuration.yml as a global configuration too so no one would have to use those CLI flags all of the time. Example:

This will allow all of us to enjoy Frum based on the XDG specification and keep our
$HOMEdirectory tidy. :tada:Environment
