Follow XDG Base Directory Specifications on Linux

MAXR should follow XDG Base Directory Specifications on Linux.

https://specifications.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html

It's currently using $HOME/.maxr/

This is bad practise and is part of the problem of home folder pollution on Linux. Even as hidden folder. I counted my folders today to report this to another game developer, that did not even bother to use a hidden folder. Got 48 game related folders in my home folder making it hard to find my own stuff burried between all that noise.

To upload designs, you'll need to enable LFS. More information
