Follow XDG Base Directory Specification

right now, spigot throws the DB and config file in ./. that seems wrong. that should be, in my opinion, $XDG_CONFIG_HOME (.config/spigot.json) and $XDG_CACHE_HOME (~/.cache/spigot.db).

I'll look into this, but I'd also like to preserve the possibility of having multiple spigot instances for a single user. This would require either keeping local paths, or coming up with some sort of namespace scheme.

sure, you can always support arbitrary config files through a --config-file argument or something. This is just about the default.
