[Linux] Extension does not follow XDG spec #62

According to the XDG Base Directory Specification, the folder created by this extension is in the wrong place.

When changing hackmd settings through the vscode settings UI, it created a folder in the home directory (/home/<user>/.hackmd/), which clutters the home directory with unnecessary files. The folder (with the cookies.json file) should be in $XDG_DATA_HOME, $XDG_CONFIG_HOME, or $XDG_CACHE_HOME, I think.

The folder is no longer created because the new extension now uses access tokens for authentication.

Close this now.
