Description

IMHO the default config path to contacts and calendar vdir directories should be
~/.local/share/vdir/contacts and ~/.local/share/vdir/calendar

Of course user's can change that, but the config file should offer a modern storage path according to $XDG_DATA_HOME default.

The issue names no implementation files or tests. Start by locating the configuration defaults for the contacts and calendar vdir paths, then check how the XDG_DATA_HOME default is handled; done means the defaults use the requested paths while remaining user-configurable.
