libinterimap: use directories relative to $HOME for the XDG defaults.
Previously getpwuid() was called to determine the user's home directory, while the XDG specification explicitely mentions $HOME. Conveniently our docs always mentioned ~/, which on POSIX-compliant systems expands to the value of the variable HOME (and the result is unspecified when the variable is unset). Cf. Shell and Utilities volume of POSIX.1-2017, sec. 2.6.1: https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/V3_chap02.html#tag_18_06_01
