Save persistent data to /var/lib/hopglass #54

Currently raw.json is being saved to /etc/hopglass/instance/raw.json. This default does not follow the Filesystem Hierachy Standard¹, as its a state file, not a configuration file.

Please save it to /var/lib/hopglass/instance/raw.json instead.

I do that on my systems. You can create a pull request to change the default config and install script.

Edit 2017: I am still aware of this. The installation script should write a configuration that saves the data to /var. But many things about the installation script are not right and I'd not recommend using it at the moment.
