use XDG baasedir spec instead of ~/.dotfile

[flying-sheep]

xdg_basedir has get_config_home() which you can use to get the correct directory to put config files into on linux.

on windows, it should go into %appdata%.

for backwards compatibility, it should first try to read from the correct location, then from the old ~/.solidoakrc, and use the first one it can find. if it can’t find anything, it should create the config file in the correct location.

Generally I'd do this, but the reason I didn't in this case was to be consistent with Vim, which also does not use that spec. Experienced Vim users would expect it to be in the root of the home dir.

simply allow both then. if the config file in the correct location cannot be found, fall back to ~/.soakrc

Yeah I can do that (actually, that's what I do in my other IDE, Nightcode).
