Stop creating dot directories in my $HOME.

Proxyman is creating ~/.proxyman and ~/.proxyman-data, which is not that “native” behavior and pollutes my HOME.

Sorry that, it's our legacy implementation. We definitely move it to the Application Folder at ~/Library/Application Support/com.proxyman.NSProxy

Two empty directories are still created upon launch, will this be fixed?

Sorry, it's not fixed yet since I don't see any issues when creating these hidden files. I know it's a legacy code, but we don't have a plan to migrate to the new place.

I might change my mind if there are similar requests 👍
