Update Linux config file folder location to follow XDG base directory specification

[marcusmueller]

~/.volk is bad on Linux; we should be going for .config/volk for configuration; compare gnuradio/gnuradio#7136

Thank you for the suggestion.

From the linked issue, I extracted that the relevant part would be the XDG_CONFIG_HOME part where the kernel config should be located.

In this new configuration, gr::paths::userconf() (and the legacy,
gr::userconf_path()) tries to find the user configuration in the
following order:

1. $GR_PREFS_PATH if that environment variable is set
2. $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/gnuradio; if $XDG_CONFIG_HOME is set, and $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/gnuradio exists and is a directory
3. appdata()/.config/gnuradio (appdata ~= $HOME) if that exists and is a directory
4. appdata()/.gnuradio if that exists and is a directory
5. $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/gnuradio if $XDG_CONFIG_HOME is set
6. appdata()/.config/gnuradio

So, in other words: unless explicitly set to something else, try the new
XDG_CONFIG_HOME path, if that doesn't exist, try the old path, and if
neither exists, use the new one.

Alternatively, we need to consider the XDG_CACHE_HOME option because it resembles the FFTW wisdom use case.
