Follow the XDG base directory specification
See original GitHub issueInstead of using config at $HOME/.httpie, the default should be ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-$HOME/.config}/httpie for unix-based operating systems according to the XDG Base Directory Specification.
As well as keeping the home directory clean, the semantic separation of config, runtime data, cache data and user-local software by the spec is helpful to users and other tools (e.g. backup software).
In terms of migration, I would suggest using the xdg-compilant config location if it exists and falling back to the current default location. This would also negate the need for the $HTTPIE_CONFIG_DIR variable, so it could be removed/de-emphasised from the documentation but still checked for at least a few versions for compatibility.
