Bug Description

Currently the application log, sensor configuration and sensor logging data are all persisted as files located under the $HOME/.psensor directory.

Perhaps they could be relocated to locations compliant with the XDG base directory specifications (https://specifications.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html)? I suggest this scheme:

application log: $XDG_CACHE_HOME/psensor/application.log
sensor configuration: $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/psensor/sensors.cfg
sensor logging data: $XDG_DATA_HOME/psensor/sensors.log
