Linux: move the user home Archipelago dir to $XDG_DATA_HOME (#4347) 

This affects builds with non-writable installation directories.
Instead of saving data in ~/Archipelago we now use $XDG_DATA_HOME/Archipelago
(defaulting to ~/.local/share/Archipelago).
If ~/Archipelago still exists we move it to the new location and link ~/Archipelago to it.

Motivation: This follows the [XDG Base Directory Specification](https://specifications.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/latest/)
to at least some degree and doesn't clutter the user's home directory.
