[Digikam-users] configuration location

[Simon Frei]

Actually never mind about the standard location. I did not notice that 
all files except digikamrc (e.g. digikam_tagsmanagerrc) were not 
modified in a long time and thus probably no longer used in digikam5. 
For a single file there is no reason for a ~/.config/digikam directory.
