Add support for XDG_DATA_HOME on Linux following the XDG Base Directory Specification. This aligns dtvem with standard Linux conventions. Changes: - paths.go: Use $XDG_DATA_HOME/dtvem or ~/.local/share/dtvem on Linux - install.sh: Detect platform and use XDG paths on Linux - Add comprehensive documentation of path selection rationale - Add unit tests for XDG path selection logic Path Selection Summary: - Linux: $XDG_DATA_HOME/dtvem (or ~/.local/share/dtvem if unset) - macOS: ~/.dtvem (familiar to Unix CLI users) - Windows: %USERPROFILE%\.dtvem (visible and easy to backup) - Override: DTVEM_ROOT env var works on all platforms Closes #91
