Allow searching in `~/.config/`

The more people who use cosmiconfig, the more dot files will be littered in the home dir.

Lots of other modules place their config in ~/.config dir, mine looks like this:

Autodesk
Last.fm       
QCAD            
deluge          
git             
hub             
karabiner       
menus           
sinopia         
xbuild
NuGet           
configstore            
gtk-2.0        
inkscape    
robomongo      
stetic          
yarn

Would be cool…

See https://github.com/davidtheclark/cosmiconfig/issues/50#issuecomment-269242018 for my thoughts on this.

That said, I think I’m open to adding an option that specifies alternative directories to search. For your case, something like searchIn: ['~/.config']. searchIn could accept an array of paths. This way the inevitable request for a different directory, like !/.conf, can still be addressed.

Open to a PR.

raise another issue @masaeedu so we don’t notify everyone on this thread.

and you probably don’t want to use searchPlaces for your use-case because that option is intended for listing files that should be attempted when traversing up the directories. You should just try loading it directly
