Store only config data in `~/.config/Code/` (as per XDG spec)

[naufraghi]

I've seen the .config/Code pop up in my backups with ~2GB and more. Looking inside I've seen a lot of opaque folders containing various .browse.VC.db files:

Is this "config" data?

I think most big files should go in $XDG_DATA_HOME or $XDG_STATE_HOME following the https://specifications.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html
