BleachBit deletes bluetooth folder ~/.cache/obexd on linux

[Timo Ollech]

The linux bluetooth daemon obexd uses the folder ~/.cache/obexd for transferring files. This folder gets deleted by BleachBit by default and has to be manually recreated each time.

Workaround: Add the folder to the whitelist in bleachbit.ini with the following lines:

[whitelist/paths]
0_type = folder
0_path = /home/[your username]/.cache/obexd

This should be default behaviour of BleachBit.

For further info about obexd see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/obexd/+bug/1535030

The bug got reintroduced in 2.2 :-(
I tested it and can confirm the same behaviour as before 2.0.

Timo, would you open up a ticket on GitHub and add the URL to this Launchpad ticket? Add a regression test so it doesn't happen again
