Support XDG base directory specification #752
Description
Mintupdate generates the updates.json file in ~/.linuxmint/mintupdate.
The XDG base directory specification suggests storing application data in ~/.local/share. A lot of different applications already support this standard, because it makes the home directory cleaner and helps to organize application data.
