Config file is written to home directory, not following XDG base directory spec #57

On linux, openstego.ini is written to $HOME, a mildly irritating location for users which prefer a clean user dir. I suggest using the XDG base directory spec. I can open a PR if needed, but it could be a fairly easy fix to implement for someone who is familiar with the code.

Fixed with v0.8.6. It also takes care to migrate config from old-style openstego.ini file to <config_home>/openstego/openstego.cfg
