Description

After updating to the latest version I've noticed that FileSystem.Current.AppDataDirectory returns a directory located in %LocalAppData% instead of %AppData% for my unpackaged app.

In 8.0.61 the path is:
C:\Users\Andrew\AppData\Roaming\[publisher]\[package]\Data

In 8.0.100 the path is:
C:\Users\Andrew\AppData\Local\[publisher]\[package]\Data

I've been able to track the change down to PR #23265 and I assume that the change is unintentional as the commit messages and the linked issue only talk about creating the directory if it doesn't exist.

This change doesn't just impact user code. For example the Preferences.Default implementation uses the path returned by FileSystem.Current.AppDataDirectory to create the preferences file. I've noticed this because all my app preferences got reset after updating to version 8.0.100

in 8.0.61 the preferences file for Preferences.Default was stored in:
C:\Users\Andrew\AppData\Roaming\[publisher]\[package]\Settings\preferences.dat

and in 8.0.100 it is loaded from:
C:\Users\Andrew\AppData\Local\[publisher]\[package]\Settings\preferences.dat
