Teach git to write to $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/config if
- it already exists,
- $HOME/.gitconfig file doesn't, and
- The --global option is used.
Otherwise, write to $HOME/.gitconfig when the --global option is
given, as before.
If the user doesn't create $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/config, there is
absolutely no change. Users can use this new file only if they want.
If $XDG_CONFIG_HOME is either not set or empty, $HOME/.config/git/config
will be used.
Advice for users who often come back to an old version of Git: you
shouldn't create this file.

This gives the default value for the core.attributesfile variable
following the exact same logic of the previous change for the
core.excludesfile setting.

To use the feature of core.excludesfile, the user needs:
1. to create such a file,
2. and add configuration variable to point at it.
Instead, we can make this a one-step process by choosing a default value
which points to a filename in the user's $HOME, that is unlikely to
already exist on the system, and only use the presence of the file as a
cue that the user wants to use that feature.
And we use "${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-$HOME/.config/git}/ignore" as such a
file, in the same directory as the newly added configuration file
("${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-$HOME/.config/git}/config). The use of this
directory is in line with XDG specification as a location to store
such application specific files.

Teach git to read the "gitconfig" information from a new location,
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/config; this allows the user to avoid
cluttering $HOME with many per-application configuration files.
In the order of reading, this file comes between the global
configuration file (typically $HOME/.gitconfig) and the system wide
configuration file (typically /etc/gitconfig).
We do not write to this new location (yet).
If $XDG_CONFIG_HOME is either not set or empty, $HOME/.config/git/config
will be used. This is in line with XDG specification.
If the new file does not exist, the behavior is unchanged.
