[FEAT] Recommend additional /books mount to avoid polluting with home directory files

Is this a new feature request?

[X] I have searched the existing issues

Wanted change

The readme states to use a /config mount point for Calibre's database and library. This directory seems to end up as the home directory and gets polluted with directories such as ssl and .cache. It is not a great location to store books. A better recommendation would be to mount /books as well and use that for the book/database location, and keeping the /config separate for the docker container files.

Reason for change

Seeing ssl directory in my books location with the private key surprised me. Also .cache, etc which had nothing to do with books.

Proposed code change

That folder is meant to be Calibre's library. Not yours.

You view the calibre library through its gui or through companion apps like calibre-web.

linuxserver / docker-calibre
