This change makes ID2T use the "pyxdg" python library to determine where to place the databases and the query history file. After reading the XDG Base Directory Specification, I figured that $XDG_CACHE_HOME (which defaults to ~/.cache) would be the correct place to put these files.

I also verified that it works correctly on macOS (in fact, some macOS programs also put their data there).

This fixes #71.

I agree that $XDG_CACHE_HOME is the right place.
