User config file location complies with the XDG base directory
specification while supporting the traditional $HOME/.gitk as a
fallback.

-----
Gitk creates the .gitk file in your $HOME directory to store preferences
such as display options, font, and colors.
User configuration and preferences are stored at:
* '$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/gitk' if it exists, otherwise
* '$HOME/.gitk' if it exists
If neither of the above exist then '$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/gitk' is created and
used by default. If '$XDG_CONFIG_HOME' is not set it defaults to
'$HOME/.config' in all cases.
