Description
Gnome and applications are moving the to XDG-basedir specification .
Would be nice to get the currently violating `~/.imagej` folder XDG compliant.
In that way we can keep our $HOME's a little bit cleaner.

Research direction
Start by locating the code that creates or references the ~/.imagej folder, then compare its behavior with the XDG Base Directory resources linked in the issue. Done means ImageJ no longer uses ~/.imagej and stores its files in an XDG-compliant location without leaving the user’s home directory cluttered.
