      Please support the XDG Base Directory Specification on Linux/*nix systems.

      Right now mongosh dumps everything user related to ~/.mongodb which is not nice for several reasons.

      If you think that splitting this data between cache, config and user data is not feasible to do right now, at the bare minimum put everything under $XDG_DATA_HOME/mongodb (with a fallback to ~/.local/share/mongodb)
