Change default location for writing local files (sqlite database, credentials file) from the current working directory (CWD) to a platform-specific location in the user's home directory (~/.local/share/flamenco on Linux, %APPDATA%\Blender Foundation\Flamenco on Windows, etc.).

This is to aid in upgrades (worker files can all be removed & replaced with a new version), as well as simplifying global configuration (global config can be read from a common, network-shared directory in CWD, Worker-specific files are always written to Worker-specific location).
