Consider moving the .dnx directory on Windows to a subdirectory of %AppData%

See original GitHub issue

From @pranavkm on March 26, 2015 21:54

On Windows, everything under the Users directory with the exception of the AppData sub directory is indexed. Consequently restoring packages kicks off the search indexer. It doesn’t look like it’s actually indexing package contents, but it does index the file names. Moving it would avoid all the extra work.

The CLI doesn’t create a .dnx directory anymore. The installer properly places files in Program Files on Windows. The install scripts also properly defaults on Windows as well.
