Honor XDG_CONFIG_HOME #629

closes #627

From what I understand this will break on MacOS. The dirs crate will give you MacOS specific paths like ~/Library/Application Support/xplr. Even though I'm explicitly setting $XDG_CONFIG_HOME, the maintainers of the dirs and directories crates are actively refusing to honor an environment variable intentionally set by MacOS users due to what sounds like "Apple knows best and it's your own fault for choosing a such a locked down system". Meanwhile 99% of CLI programs use ~/.config/* on MacOS or at least respect the $XDG_CONFIG_HOME environment variable.

@sayanarijit can we please hold back on releasing this until previous default behavior has been restored? This will be especially painful for those wanting to sync their dotfiles.

I'll reopen the issue to discuss further.
