When XDG_CONFIG_HOME is defined cointop places the config.toml in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/.config/cointop

When a user has defined the environment variable XDG_CONFIG_HOME, the expected behavior of programs that use that environment variable is to place their config directory in$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/<name of app>/. On first startup of cointop it does not follow the expected behavior and instead places its config directory in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/.config/cointop/. This breaks automation scripts that expect the app to properly leverage the environment variable (ex. scripting downloading cointop and placing the color schemes in the cointop config directory).

One way to fix this could be to change defaultConfigFilePath call a function that checks if XDG_CONFIG_HOME is defined and would either return the expanded value of $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/cointop/config.toml or ~/.config/cointop/config.toml if XDG_CONFIG_HOME is not defined.

System Information:

• Ubuntu 18.04
• Go version 1.14.4 linux/amd64

Steps to reproduce:

1. Define the XDG_CONFIG_HOME environment variable in your shell's rc file or $HOME/.profile
2. Download cointop using go get -u github.com/miguelmota/cointop
3. Start cointop and run ls -a $XDG_CONFIG_HOME to verify that $XDG_CONFIG_HOME does not contain a cointop directory, but does contain a .config directory with a cointop subdirectory.
