Docs/README.md issue: "Proper" autoload location unclear #758

Description

@adam-m-jcbs

The README.md for this project currently states for installing with neovim:

curl -fLo ~/.local/share/nvim/site/autoload/plug.vim --create-dirs \
    https://raw.githubusercontent.com/junegunn/vim-plug/master/plug.vim

Most sources I've read (including a comment in a vim-plug issue) and example neovim configurations I've seen have the autoload directory as ~/.config/nvim/autoload. Why does the above have it as ~/.local/share/nvim/site/autoload/? Are there any adverse consequences to using the ~/.config/nvim/autoload convention? I'm refactoring my configuration and want to use whichever convention is most likely to be widely used over time.
