Data folder path on Linux

See original GitHub issue

Currently production Brave (electron) stores data in folders: /home/<user>/.config/brave and /home/<user>/.config/brave-beta

Chromium-fork Brave stores in /home/<user>/.config/brave and /home/<user>/.config/brave-development for non-official builds Beta and unstable channels /home/<user>/.config/brave-beta and /home/<user>/.config/brave-unstable

This may cause a conflict.

It makes sense to rename dir to /home/<user>/.config/brave-browser until it is not released.

It is already has a patch near https://github.com/brave/browser-android-tabs/blob/master/chrome/common/chrome_paths_linux.cc#L78 .
