yarn global should not store packages in ~/.config

[toupeira]

What is the current behavior?

yarn global stores packages in ~/.config/yarn/global by default on Linux.

What is the expected behavior?

~/.config is for configuration files, data files should be stored in ~/.local/share (see XDG spec)

One use-case: people backing up ~/.config and wasting space with endless NodeJS modules :)

Please mention your node.js, yarn and operating system version.

yarn 1.7.0
