elfeed-dashboard-file uses relative path and works differently based on current working directory #16

Instead maybe it would be good to put it in a constant location? Or perhaps not. I just realized I thought other packages do this because no-littering configures a ton of packages to use it's directory.

For my use case I ended up doing:

(setq elfeed-dashboard-file (expand-file-name (concat no-littering-var-directory "elfeed-dashboard.org")))

However maybe things are fine as is? It was just very confusing when I first started using the package to get an empty dashboard file sometimes. At the least maybe something should be added to the readme if it isn't already.
