Previously, FEX would use `$HOME/.fex-emu` for its data and config if `XDG_CONFIG_HOME` and/or `XDG_DATA_HOME` were unset. This doesn't follow XDG, so instead we do a fallback to `$HOME/.config` and `$HOME/.local/share` respectively if XDG env vars are unset. Also, pre-emptively creates those directories since `~/.local/share` and `~/.config` existing is technically not a guarantee if XDG dirs are unset. Signed-off-by: crueter <[email protected]>
