An implementation of XDG Base Directory Specification

XDGBDS defines four categories of dotfiles and the corresponding directories in user's home directory that should be used for those. The categories are cache, configuration, data, state and runtime files.

All those locations have corresponding XDG_* environment variables.

All paths set in them must be absolute.
If a relative path is encountered, the path is consider invalid and NULL is assigned.
