feat: use XDG directories on Linux
This removes the need for the ~/.dart_tool directory in user's HOME. It moves the config file to $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/dart_tool, and all other data to $XDG_DATA_HOME/dart_tool. If the old directory exists but the new one doesn't, the old location is used as a fallback. Otherwise, the new directories are created.
See https://github.com/dart-lang/sdk/issues/41560 (this doesn't fully solve the issue, but it does get rid of one of the offending directories)

thanks for this PR! I was thinking that we could add some utilities for this to the cli_util package and then use them across any dart programs. What do you think? See dart-archive/cli_util#94
CC @bwilkerson . I'm not sure who maintains unified_analytics these days.
The Dash Developer Services team does, although there hasn't really been any active work in this area for awhile.
We're actively deciding where we want all of the Dart / Flutter tools to write state in https://github.com/dart-lang/sdk/issues/41560, but I don't think we're going to move forward with this PR at this time (please see the discussion in the linked issue).
