[smufl] Updated recommendations for font-specific metadata locations on Linux to follow XDG Base Directory Specification

== Updated recommendations for font-specific metadata locations on 
Linux to follow XDG Base Directory Specification ==
Reported by @JanClaeys:

Font-specific metadata locations for linux (as defined in 
[`font-metadata-locations.md`](https://github.com/steinbergmedia/smufl/blob/master/font-metadata-locations.md))
 should follow the [XDG Base Directory 
Specification](http://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/latest/).

Specifically, system-wide font metadata files should be searched in 
`$XDG_DATA_DIRS/SMuFL/Fonts/<fontname>/<fontname>.json` (which can be 
multiple locations), while local metadata should be in 
`$XDG_DATA_HOME/SMuFL/Fonts/<fontname>/<fontname>.json`.

See the XDG Base Directory Specification for more info.

(Also, I haven't read the whole SMuFL specification, so their might be
 other places than `font-metadata-locations.md` where this applies.)
