[Linux] change the save directory of Hive.initFlutter()

[antebandov]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
The Hive.initFlutter() method sets the directory for the database files to '$HOME/Documents'. On Linux systems user-specific application files should be saved to the '$HOME/.local/share/' directory. This directory can be retrieved by the path_provider package with the getApplicationSupportDirectory() method.

Describe the solution you'd like
On Linux systems the Hive.initFlutter() method should call the getApplicationSupportDirectory() to retrieve the '$HOME/.local/share/' directory.

If the change is appreciated i can create a Pull request.

Version

• Platform: Linux
• Flutter version: [e.g. 1.5.4]
• Hive version: [e.g. 0.5.0]

Hi!

You can do it yourself for now by using Hive.init() passing in the desired path!

Thank you for the suggestion! That's the way i will do it until the feature will be added.
