update-manager-core should use ~/.config to store it's configs

[Oleksij Rempel]

Binary package hint: update-manager

according to "XDG Base Directory Specification" update-manager should store the configs to ~/.config/update-manager-core . And this will make home folder clear.

see:
XDG Base Directory Specification
http://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/latest/ar01s03.html
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME defines the base directory relative to which user specific configuration files should be stored. If $XDG_CONFIG_HOME is either not set or empty, a default equal to $HOME/.config should be used.

What files do you see that are update-manager-core config files and are not stored in the XDG-compliant config directory? I haven't found anything that update-managar stores in the home directory. (even the cache is stored in an XDG compliant way.)

I still have a ~/.update-manager-core directory, on a system upgraded through several Ubuntu versions. It contains 2 files, "meta-release" and "meta-release-development". The files were last modified in 2010, suggesting they are no longer used (presumably the migration failed to remove the obsolete config).
