Use standard Linux locations for config and cache #884
Description
Currently OpenML package creates .openml in home directory. These days this is not a nice behavior, because there is a standard where things should go.
- Use
XDG_CONFIG_HOMEenvironment variable to determine base config directory. - Use
XDG_CACHE_HOMEenvironment variable to determine base cache directory.
See more practical information and details here.
So, by default, config should go into ~/.config/openml and cache into ~/.cache/openml.

Thank you for the pointers, this makes total sense.
So far, we have agreed to keep the config and cache consistent across languages, so I'd like to hear @giuseppec and @janvanrijn's opinion for R and Java.

@mllg @berndbischl @giuseppec this is likely important for the R package as well. 👆
