Replace or drop dev.dirs:directories due to licensing issues

[jsjant]

This library uses Mozilla Public License 2.0. There are very subtle definitions on when you have to disclose your source and it's hard to use ap-loader due to this.

Would it be possible to replace this library with something like Files.createTempDirectory?

I need this project at https://github.com/jvm-profiling-tools/ap-loader/blob/3f741ecaeb9a4abe2bc2e4ab50b130435ee96117/src/main/java/one/profiler/AsyncProfilerLoader.java#LL129C13-L129C13, to get the user data dir in which to store the extracted binaries in. This shouldn't be a temporary folder, as it has to persist after ap-loader exits. But we could of course use the fact that we're only supporting Linux and Mac OS and program it ourselves.

We could probably implement it quite easily (using the information from the dev.dirs:directories README):

• Linux: " $XDG_DATA_HOME defines the base directory relative to which user-specific data files should be stored. If $XDG_DATA_HOME is either not set or empty, a default equal to $HOME/.local/share should be used." freedesktop.org
• MacOS: "Put app-created support files in the Library/Application support/ directory. In general, this directory includes files that the app uses to run but that should remain hidden from the user. This directory can also include data files, configuration files, templates and modified versions of resources loaded from the app bundle." Standard Directories

Do you want to implement this and remove the dependency?

[jsjant]

Yep, I'll try

Fixed by the PR.
