Use correct way to get writable data dir (#7, OpenCPN#2312) #10

Use GetpPrivateApplicationDataLocation() to get the private, writable data directory. This fixes current code which doesn't handle flatpak (and also might run into troubles with upcoming, new platforms).

Doing so, be careful to not update the core OpenCPN data, see https://github.com/OpenCPN/OpenCPN/issues/2312

Closes: #7

Tested on flatpak only.

Thanks Alec this was the next pi I was going to do. Much appreciated.
