Feature request: support the XDG Base Directory specification by checking $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/hackernews_tui/hn-tui.toml first, and then falling back to the ~/.config if it doesn't exist.

Hi @qubidt. Sorry for the delay. I made the change in github.com/aome510/hackernews-TUI@f99380ed30.

A new file finding logic is indicated in here.

In short, hackernews-tui will look into $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/hn-tui.toml then fall back to $HOME/.config/hn-tui.toml. If that doesn't work, you can specify a custom path with -c or --config.
