Existing installs continue to use ~/.q3a but new installs use ~/.local/share/q3a. ~/.local/share/q3a is always used if it exists. Otherwise it will use ~/.q3a if it exists or create ~/.local/share/q3a. This prevents switching to ~/.q3a if another client creates it later. This supports '+set com_homepath ".foo"' to override paths to ~/.foo and ~/.local/share/foo.
