It would be great if this followed the XDG Base Dir Spec instead of dumping the config files in $HOME.

https://specifications.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html

$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/vimgolf/config should be the default home of the config, and the leftover data should go in $XDG_CACHE_HOME/vimgolf/put/*

I believe all these changes should be made in lib/vimgolf/lib/vimgolf/config.rb

Support XDG base directory specification
275eedb 
Closes igrigorik#285.

Support the XDG base directory specification
(https://specifications.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html)
by moving the following files:

$HOME/.vimgolf/config.yaml --> {$XDG_CONFIG_HOME OR $HOME/.config}/vimgolf/config.yaml
$HOME/.vimgolf/put/* --> {$XDG_CACHE_HOME OR $HOME/.cache}/vimgolf/*

If the old directory (~/.vimgolf) exists, grab the key from there,
remove ~/.vimgolf and create the two xdg directories from above.
