[PATCH v2] gitk: Comply with XDG base directory specification

[Astril Hayato <astrilhayato@gmail.com>]

Write the gitk config data to $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/gitk ($HOME/.config/git/gitk
by default) in line with the XDG specification. This makes it consistent with
git which also follows the spec.

If $HOME/.gitk already exists use that for backward compatibility, so only new
installations are affected.
