Would `stdpath("state")` be a better fit for `db_root`? #200

I wonder if that would be a better default for transient data of this nature (similar to shada). What do you think?

I see. This plugin was born in 2021-01-14 according to commit logs. In those days, XDG_STATE_HOME did not exist because the first spec for XDG Base Directory is version 0.8 which is published in May 2021 (mentioned here).

XDG_DATA_HOME should store persistent data for applications, so frecency DB should be stored in XDG_STATE_HOME.

I will update the default place to XDG_STATE_HOME, but also add a fallback logic to search XDG_DATA_HOME.
