Comment 6 for bug 1387294

As I suggested on the merge request comment thread, a solution would be
allow the developer to choose in which destionation the database can be
placed. Since the places allowed by apparmor are limited (I think only
~/.config, ~/.local/share and ~/.cache are available, correct me if wrong),
we could provide an option to choose which one will be used by u1db and
translated accordingly in the correct path. This would avoid the use of ~
and other hardcoded path from the qml side. What do you think about this?
