Move version and console history to .paper dir

What about migration (moving from old directory to new) of existing files? Or, at least, automatic deletion of it... because after that they will become useless?

Also, it would be very nice (at least for me and my team) if the default path to ".paper" directory could be changed via command line argument at server startup, i.e. -DPaper.cacheDirectory=... or --paper-cache-directory ... (similar to already existing --paper-settings-directory) <3

Idk if a migration for any of these is too useful. Deletion sounds like a lot of effort for something server owners could just yank themselves if they cared. Additionally, we do not have that good of a tool to delete them once instead of every server start.

That would be a really nice addition when we are already creating a single source of truth for that in PaperCacheDir 👍

Sharing these two files between servers doesn't make any sense. The paperclip cache directory is off-topic here

I was mostly thinking directly piping the cache dir into a tmp folder so my root dir stays even leaner.

Fwiw, upcoming paperclip changes are going to be using this folder as well. In that regard, changing this dir makes less sense as the dir will exist anyway. Sharing them between servers is def not the goal of the cache dir (console and ver history for example).
