Summary0001310: Linux XDG support for savegames
DescriptionThis is just a feature request regarding the placement of the .vcmi folder. The XDG specification on Linux (http://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html [^]) would suggest using the variable XDG_DATA_HOME+vcmi/ and if that isn't available, using instead ".local/share/vcmi/".

I've found this sample implementation: https://gist.github.com/flibitijibibo/5139524 [^]

This one will have to wait till 0001688 is fixed, othervice chance to run into issues is just too big.

According to specs these are directories that we will use:
$XDG_DATA_HOME, default: $HOME/.local/share
User data, e.g. mods, save games, place for H3 files when installed via vcmibuilder

$XDG_CONFIG_HOME, default: $HOME/.config
Location of user config files (mod settings + game settings)

$XDG_CACHE_HOME, default: $HOME/.cache
Cached & temporary files, mostly for launcher, maybe also for logs(?)

$XDG_DATA_DIRS
List of global data directories, will be used insead/along with DATA_DIR
