debuginfod-client: default to XDG cache.
PR25502: debuginfod client should default to XDG cache
Location of client cache now defaults to $XDG_CACHE_HOME/debuginfod_client.
If XDG_CACHE_HOME is not set then fallback to $HOME/.cache/debuginfod_client.
Also maintain backwards compatibility with the previous default path-
if $HOME/.debuginfod_client_cache exists, use that instead of the new
defaults.
