respect XDG conventions for configuration file

The base XDG directory specification says that config file should be in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME or, failing that, in ~/.config. the example client should also follow that standard and look for the config file in ~/.config/tweetrc instead of ~/.tweetrc.

See also this post for a rationale.

I’m not sure that we use a config file or would be writing to one, but maybe in some old code somewhere. Could you point me to where this would apply?

The Debian package for python-twitter ships /usr/bin/tweet that I use frequently. The config file is defined in:
