configurationBaseDirectory

Divines the default configuration file base directory, depending on what platform we're currently running.

On non-macOS Posix it defaults to $XDG_CONFIG_HOME and falls back to ~/.config if no $XDG_CONFIG_HOME environment variable present.

On macOS it defaults to $HOME/Library/Preferences.

On Windows it defaults to %APPDATA%.
