U1DB creates databases in current directory, not in user-writeable directory as LocalStorage does

[Dustin Galgarret]

When creating a U1db.Database { path: "myfile.u1db" } myfile.u1db is created in the current directory. On the phone, this file should be created in the app-specific writeable private directory, but the user should not have to explicitly specify that: instead, a file named "myfile.u1db" should automatically be created there without the app developer having to declare that (or even know that).

Excerpt from IRC which may be relevant:

[01:26] <tyhicks> see /usr/share/apparmor/easyprof/templates/ubuntu/1.0/ubuntu-sdk
[01:26] <tyhicks> it includes these rules:
[01:26] <tyhicks> owner @{HOME}/.config/@{APP_PKGNAME}/ rw, # XDG_CONFIG_HOME
[01:26] <tyhicks> owner @{HOME}/.config/@{APP_PKGNAME}/** mrwkl,
[01:27] <tyhicks> mhall119: ^
[01:27] <mhall119> dgalg: ok, so then we should ask that u1db use that as the default location unless an a path is used

[Jamie Strandboge (jdstrand)]

Better path would probably be in XDG_DATA_HOME. Ie, what corresponds to these rules:
  owner @{HOME}/.local/share/@{APP_PKGNAME}/ rw, # XDG_DATA_HOME
  owner @{HOME}/.local/share/@{APP_PKGNAME}/** mrwklix,

This is perhaps related to bug #1197051.

I have a feeling a lot of packages didn't make it to the image and this is one of them. It's already fixed.
