Support storing data outside the userData folder?

See original GitHub issue

Perhaps if filePath is an absolute user directory then it would just write to that folder. e.g…

storage.get('/Users/dave/sites/my-site/config.json')

What do you think about this idea?

I guess alternatively this could be abstracted as a separate module that electron-storage relies on. In this case electron-storage with simply process the paths and wrap the new abstracted module.

I think we should update ya-storage, but the changes are very subtle and will be discovered easily by the tests.
