"AM" 7.3

New option to create portable "$XDG_CONFIG_HOME" directories for AppImages

The new option -C (uppercased) or --config is a frontend of the inbuilt option --appimage-portable-config that aready exists in all AppImages, as -H (uppercased) or --home is for the other inbuilt option --appimage-portable-home.

SYNTAX

am -C {PROGRAM}

or

appman -C {PROGRAM}

These changes are all made by @Samueru-sama :

• Add option -C or --config to create a .config directory for AppImages like it is already done for .home.

• Add check for when the portable config or home directory already exists

tests:

In the test, kek simulates a non-installed package and bemoji a non-appimage package, to test that those checks for those cases are working.

Each run of --home or --config is repeated to also test when the directory already exists.
