The config file is now located in an folder according to the XDG specification (`XDG_CONFIG_HOME`). Since this is a breaking change, there is a check in place, which informs the end user to please migrate to the new config location, if the a file at the old config path has been located. This fixes k8sgpt-ai#235. Signed-off-by: Patrick Pichler <git@patrickpichler.dev>

Describe the solution you'd like
The config file should be stored in an XDG conform location. I would suggest the XDG_CONFIG_HOME folder,
which would be
~/.configon linux.There is even a neat golang library which offers standardized locations for mac, windows and linux:
github.com/adrg/xdg
Benefits for the project and its users
This would help keeping the users home directory clean and be more inline with other applications installed.
Potential drawbacks
The config file location changes, so this would be a breaking change. We could still support
the old location for some time though or offer an automatic migration.
Additional context
